Mercy Health – Youngstown and Kindred Rehabilitation Services (KRS) has announced a joint venture partnership to construct Mercy Health Rehabilitation Hospital, a standalone, 60-bed acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Ohio’s Mahoning Valley. 

Construction of Mercy Health Rehabilitation Hospital is expected to begin in early 2023 with an expected opening in fall 2024. 

KRS will manage daily operations of the acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital. The hospital will have all private rooms and focus on acute inpatient rehabilitation for patients who suffer from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, complex neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, multiple trauma, amputation and other injuries or disorders. The rehabilitation facility will also feature multidisciplinary therapy gymnasiums outfitted with the latest therapeutic technologies, including augmented-reality balance training, therapy bionics and a full-body exoskeleton. It also will include a therapeutic courtyard with exterior amenities to support patient care and help patients return to daily living activities. 

Upon completion, Mercy Health Rehabilitation Hospital will be KRS’ third joint-venture, standalone inpatient rehabilitation hospital located in Ohio.
