Dallas-based Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals will build the $17 million facility in the Temple Medical and Education District South, said the Temple Economic Development Corp., which announced the news Aug. 30. The project is expected to create 120 new jobs. The Temple EDC said its board approved a cash grant that will help with infrastructure for the project.
“Everest Rehabilitation Hospital and TMED South will be the Southeast gateway to the community which is an ideal location for a specialty healthcare companies to locate.” Temple EDC President David Blackburn said. “Taking advantage of more than just our proximity to the population in the region, Everest Rehabilitation Hospital will also benefit from the talent and cost of doing business in Temple.”
Jay Quintana, CEO of Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals, said the 38,000-square-foot hospital will serve patients who have had major illnesses or injuries such as a stroke, trauma, brain injury or complex orthopedic conditions.
