“Frazier Rehab has an impressive legacy, with more than 60 years in rehab care, and we are excited to work alongside them to improve patients’ lives.
“This new hospital will be dedicated to passionately advocating for and providing hope, healing and recovery to patients in its care.”
The organisation said that the new hospital is expected to support the increasing requirements of the region.
It will provide access to an array of specialty programmes at downtown Frazier Rehab Institute to help people of all ages with disabilities reach their fullest potential in physical and cognitive functioning.
Subject to some regulatory and other approvals, the new rehabilitation hospital is expected to be opened by the fourth quarter of next year.
