$23 million investment in community through
comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation center
HCA Florida Capital Hospital, an affiliate of HCA Florida Healthcare has expanded its rehabilitation services through the addition of a Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Center. The $23 million addition opens April 25 and will add to the array of high-quality care services provided to patients and create new career opportunities in the community.
“As our community continues to grow, there is a need for advanced inpatient rehabilitation services close to home,” said Alan Keesee, CEO of HCA Florida Capital Hospital. “The Inpatient Rehabilitation Center at HCA Florida Capital Hospital offers those who have been critically ill or injured, continuity-of-care and access to an array of rehabilitative specialists helping them regain strength to live life to the fullest.”
The new Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Center increases access to healthcare, particularly for seniors, and brings more than 50 jobs to the community. The center will help patients overcome functional limitations brought on by injury or illness through three-or-more hours of therapy a day, six to seven days a week. The 27,000-square-foot, free-standing center will feature 20 private patient rooms, a gym and a dedicated dining room. The Rehabilitation Center is connected to the main hospital – a unique feature that allows easy access to the acute-care setting of the hospital, if needed.
Patients most frequently need inpatient rehabilitation if they have suffered one of the following:
• Stroke
• Cardiac and Pulmonary Events
• Brain, Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
• Orthopedic Fractures
• Amputations
• Neuromuscular Disorders
“The care team will include specially-trained physicians, nurses, speech language pathologists, and physical and occupational therapists,” said Elizabeth Paine, Chief Operating Officer. “We are excited to expand these services to our community, as we know how important comprehensive rehabilitation services are in the journey to recovery.”
