Upper Allen Township-based Select Medical Corporation has announced it plans to open another hospital, this time in northern Virginia.
The healthcare company is partnering with Inova Health System on a joint venture to own and operate a 32-bed critical illness recovery hospital within Inova Mount Vernon Hospital. The specialty hospital is expected to open in the first half of 2023.
Critical illness recovery hospitals (licensed as long-term care hospitals) provide specialty services for chronic, critically ill patients who require extended healing and recovery, but no longer need the intensive care provided in an acute care hospital.
“As the patient population requiring specialty care continues to grow in northern Virginia, we are pleased to form this joint venture with Inova to provide world-class inpatient post-acute services to the region,” Tom Mullin, executive vice president of specialty hospitals at Select Medical, said in a news release.
Select Medical will serve as both the majority owner and managing partner of the new hospital.
Select Medical also announced recently it plans to open a critical illness recovery inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Venice, Florida next year.
As of March 31, Select Medical operated 105 critical illness recovery hospitals in 28 states, 30 rehabilitation hospitals in 12 states, and 1,901 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 38 states and the District of Columbia. Select Medical’s sister company, Concentra operates 518 occupational health centers in 41 states.
