Lifepoint Health®, a diversified healthcare delivery network dedicated to its mission of making communities healthier®, today announced that it has acquired four inpatient rehabilitation facilities from Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals, a multispecialty rehabilitation hospital company. The facilities joining Lifepoint are located in Longview, Texas; Temple, Texas; Rogers, Arkansas and Cincinnati, Ohio.

“We are so pleased to welcome the inpatient rehabilitation facilities in Texas, Arkansas and Ohio to Lifepoint,” said Russ Bailey, president of Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a business unit of Lifepoint Health. “Through our inpatient rehabilitation facilities and acute rehabilitation units across the country, Lifepoint Rehabilitation is expanding access to critically needed rehabilitation care to patients recovering from a number of conditions, including strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic injuries, neurological conditions, amputations and trauma. We recognize the growing need for greater access to rehabilitation services across the country, and we have an exciting vision to further build and strengthen our rehabilitation capabilities through technology, quality programs, services, support teams and more.”

The four facilities included in the transaction are all-inclusive rehabilitation facilities, each with 36 private rooms for patients, as well as a combined team of nearly 500 employees providing a broad range of rehabilitation services and care support across all four campuses. Lifepoint will assume the operations of each facility.

“We are pleased to complete this transaction with Lifepoint Health,” said Jay Quintana, chief executive officer of Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals. “We are confident Lifepoint shares our passion for expanding access to inpatient rehabilitation services and is equally committed to providing high-quality care to the patients we serve. We look forward to exploring more opportunities to bring these critically needed services to more communities.”

This transaction reflects Lifepoint’s increasing focus on expanding access to rehabilitation services and deepens Lifepoint’s capabilities as a diversified healthcare delivery network. The new facilities will be the first inpatient rehabilitation facilities owned and operated exclusively by Lifepoint Rehabilitation. Lifepoint Rehabilitation’s growing network includes more than 30 joint venture inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and more than 250 hospital-based rehabilitation units, medical/surgical and outpatient therapy settings.
