Encompass Health and Lee Healthcare Holdings announced a collaboration to jointly own and operate two new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in Southwest Florida.
One of the hospitals will be a 40-bed, freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital currently under construction in Cape Coral and scheduled to open in May. The other hospital, anticipated to open in 2024, will be a 60-bed, freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital located in Fort Myers on Lee Health’s Gulf Coast Medical Center campus. When the Fort Myers hospital opens, Lee Health intends to relocate its existing 60-bed rehabilitation unit at Lee Memorial Hospital to that new facility. Read more.
