Alabama-based Encompass Health Corp. plans to build a $55 million inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the Norristown area.
The proposed freestanding, 50-bed medical center on undeveloped property at 2660 Audubon Road in Lower Providence Township will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries including strokes and other neurological disorders, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and complex orthopedic conditions. The medical center will offer 24‑hour nursing care along with physical, occupational and speech therapies.
An Encompass Health spokesperson said the company has not yet set a timeline for when construction will begin and when the hospital will open.
The medical center will have between 125 and 175 full-time employees within five years of opening, and feature all private patient rooms, a therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation technology, a cafeteria, dining room, pharmacy and a therapy courtyard.
In a statement, Pat Tuer, president of Encompass Health’s Northeast region, said the company's business model is to improve access to "high-quality and individualized" rehabilitative care." He said the "new hospital will allow even more residents to receive specialized care close to home."
