Northwest Healthcare To Open Post-Acute Care Center
4/9/2019
Northwest Healthcare announced plans to build a post-acute care center on the Northwest Medical Center campus. The facility, expected to open in early 2021, will be adjacent to the hospital and next to the Gateway Medical Plaza.
The care center will include a 30-bed sub-acute skilled nursing facility (SNF) and a 30-bed acute care inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF). According to Northwest Healthcare Regional President and Market CEO Kevin Stockton, “The SNF/IRF combination will allow us to better manage high-risk patients who are leaving the hospital but are not yet ready to go home. Integrating this type of care into our system allows us to focus on all aspects of medical care that our patients require—not just what happens in the hospital, but how they recover once they leave. Our goal with expanding the continuum of care we offer is that it may ultimately improve the outcomes for our patients.”
