A specific opening timeline will be disclosed afterwards.
The hospital will comprise private patient rooms and upgraded rehabilitation technologies through which Encompass Health will be equipped to deliver physical, occupational and speech therapies. This will be of great relief to patients grappling with severe illnesses and injuries, who can recover rapidly with the assistance of well-versed medical teams.
