Columbus-based OhioHealth and Select Medical, an operator of long-term acute care and inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, have inked a definitive agreement to acquire the operating assets of Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital in Dublin, Ohio.
After closing, the hospital will be renamed OhioHealth Rehabilitation Hospital-Dublin. It will feature 40 private rooms and for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, amputation, neurological disorders and orthopedic conditions.
The OhioHealth-Select Medical joint venture also operates the 74-bed OhioHealth Rehabilitation Hospital in Columbus and will break ground in spring on a 12-bed rehabilitation neuro transitional center in Dublin in the spring. It is expected to open a year later.
"OhioHealth is committed to providing advanced care, close to home," Brian Jepson, president of OhioHealth's central market, said in a Feb. 7 news release. "Joint ventures are a very important component of OhioHealth's goal of offering exceptional care for our patients and their families, in addition to our OhioHealth sites around the state."
The OhioHealth-Select Medical joint venture also includes 38 NovaCare outpatient physical therapy centers across Ohio.
