Tampa General Hospital and Kindred Healthcare have formed a joint venture to construct and operate a freestanding 59-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility in Tampa Bay.
The new inpatient rehabilitation hospital will be located on Kennedy Boulevard between Oregon Ave. and Willow Ave. in Tampa. The roughly 80,000-sq.-ft. hospital will cost $35 million and is expected to employ more than 140 caregivers and staff.
Kindred will manage the day-to-day operations of the new hospital. Groundbreaking is planned for the summer of 2020, with the expected opening in the fall of 2021.
The new inpatient rehabilitation hospital will care for adults recovering from conditions such as stroke, neurological disease, injury to the brain or spinal cord and other debilitating illnesses or injuries. It will feature all private rooms and a secured brain injury unit with private dining and a therapy gym.
