Rehab Hospital Development Completed In Tacoma, Wash.
The CHI Franciscan Rehabilitation Hospital, a joint-venture between CHI Franciscan Health and Kindred LifePoint Healthcare, Inc., admitted its first patient last month. The new $30.5 million facility, serving the Puget Sound region, is western Washington’s first freestanding inpatient rehab hospital. The new facility’s extensive clinical team, specifically trained in the field of rehabilitation, treats patients recovering from acute injuries and illness.
“Ensuring our communities throughout the Puget Sound have access to the highest quality care is at the center of everything we do,” said Ketul J. Patel, CEO of CHI Franciscan Health. “Our new state-of-the-art hospital will double our current capacity, allowing us to care for the increasing demand of patients in need of specialized rehabilitative services.”
The 64,000+ square-foot rehab hospital marks the first West Coast development for Capital Growth Medvest (“Medvest”) as it continues expanding its footprint. Medvest selected Aldrich + Associates, a locally based general contractor, for their extensive experience in healthcare construction. Earl Swensson Associates, consistently recognized as one of the nation’s top healthcare design firms, acted as the project architect.
