Encompass Health (EHC) Plans Hospital to Aid Florida Footprint

Encompass Health Corporation EHC recently announced plans to construct an inpatient rehabilitation hospital in The Villages of Florida. Named Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Wildwood, the hospital will house 50 beds.

The hospital will be furnished with high-quality rehabilitation technologies and equipment, and well-versed medical teams to provide affordable physical, occupational and speech treatment for patients suffering debilitating illnesses and injuries. This, in turn, will enable Encompass Health to extend better health outcomes throughout Florida, the hospital’s future location.

The latest announcement highlights one of the most longstanding endeavors of Encompass Health, which is to strengthen its presence across Florida by constructing hospitals and inaugurating the same within a reasonable timeline. With the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Wildwood, EHC intends to expand its presence in central Florida, the region lacking adequate availability of inpatient rehabilitation services.
