The 35-bed LTACH will be on the fourth floor of Carolinas Medical Center-University. It will be a joint venture between Carolinas HealthCare and Carolinas Community Care, a subsidiary of Plano, Texas-based Community Hospital Corp., according to the report.

The LTACH is slated to open in July 2015, but the organizations still need to gain approval of the project’s certificate-of-need application.
