The new inpatient rehabilitation hospital, which will continue to operate as a joint venture between DHS and Encompass, will be located in the Warrick Wellness Trail medical district in Newburgh, Ind.

The hospital will feature 80 private rooms, an on-site therapy gym and an in-house pharmacy. Construction on the hospital will begin in spring 2018 and is expected to wrap up in fall 2019.

“This new hospital will continue to allow us to help patients relearn how to walk, talk and perform their daily activities of living again after they’ve faced a life-altering illness or injury. We are excited for this new chapter for HealthSouth Deaconess,” said Blake Bunner, CEO of HealthSouth Deaconess.
