Two New Inpatient Rehab Hospitals Broaden a Growing Regional Footprint

Cleveland Clinic just opened two new inpatient rehabilitation hospitals to be operated in a joint venture with rehabilitation services provider Select Medical Corp. The first of the new facilities, located east of Cleveland in Beachwood, Ohio, opened in early October 2017. The other facility, south of Cleveland in Bath, Ohio, opened in early November. Each hospital has 60 beds.

These two latest hospitals join another new inpatient rehab hospital operated under the joint venture — opened in Avon, Ohio, west of Cleveland in December 2015 — to expand a growing regional inpatient rehabilitation footprint complementing the services offered at Cleveland Clinic’s main campus hospital.

Early results out of the new rehab hospital in Avon bode well for the joint venture with Select. In just its first year of operation (2016), the Avon facility exceeded the joint venture benchmark for patient satisfaction scores and surpassed the weighted national average in patients discharged home. This was accomplished despite a case mix index higher the national 50th percentile.
