Encompass Health Corp. and BSA Health System announced a joint venture arrangement to own and operate a freestanding, 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Amarillo, Texas. The hospital, currently under construction, will be located at 7950 Wallace Boulevard. BSA intends to relocate its existing 24-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit to the new hospital upon completion. The space currently housing the inpatient rehabilitation unit will be used for the expansion of the BSA Hospital acute care capacity.
The hospital will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries, including strokes and other neurological disorders, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and complex orthopedic conditions. In addition to 24-hour nursing care, the hospital will offer physical, occupational and speech therapies to restore functional ability and quality of life. Care will be provided by highly specialized nurses, therapists and physicians.
The hospital will feature private patient rooms, a spacious therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation technologies and an activities of daily living suite, in-house dialysis suite, dining room, pharmacy and therapy courtyard.
The hospital, expected to open in late 2025, will be part of Encompass Health's national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and its ongoing expansion in Texas.
