Everest Rehabilitation Hospital announced the construction of a free-standing comprehensive physical rehabilitation hospital on 4.6 acres in the heart of Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, Florida. Everest is known for developing identical, modern, 40,000-square-foot, 36-bed, single-story physical rehabilitation hospitals. With each of the 36 private rooms complete with contemporary art, 65-inch flat screen TVs and a private luxury bathroom, Everest’s hospitals are comparable to a luxury hotel. Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals are predesigned with an option to add an additional 17 private rooms should the market dictate the need for expansion. 

To better serve the needs of patients, Everest hospitals include spacious, technologically advanced equipped inpatient and outpatient physical therapy gyms, a large outdoor mobility courtyard for therapeutic use, aqua therapy, a completely furnished life skills training apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom, in-house dialysis, and an in-house pharmacy.  

Included in the facility are several family gathering areas, an extra-large dining hall and an outdoor patio. The hospital will serve patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, speech impediments, amputation, pulmonary disease, orthopedic injury, COVID-19, and other medically complex conditions. 

Everest Rehabilitation Hospital in Port Charlotte will create over 100 jobs and provide a payroll of $8 million a year to the community, and it will feature a comprehensive interdisciplinary physician-led experienced team of rehabilitation therapists focused on increasing patient strength and endurance and improving quality of life.
