Upon the completion, the new inpatient rehabilitation hospital will be part of the company’ national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and home health and hospice agencies.

At present, Encompass Health has 26 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, 51 home health locations and 13 hospice locations in Texas.

Encompass Health Southwest region president Frank Brown said: “We are excited to expand our rehabilitation services to Amarillo, Texas, and we are thankful for the community support we have received.

“Through the new inpatient rehabilitation hospital, we will provide our patients with coordinated and connected care that meets them where they are in their healthcare journeys and makes a positive difference in their lives.”

In July this year, the company announced plans to construct a 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
