Brooks Rehabilitation, a leader in treating patients after life-altering brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, strokes and other complex conditions, will open an inpatient rehabilitation hospital on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus.
The new hospital will join Brooks’ network of three existing inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in Florida. The expansion into Arizona sets the stage for new growth, innovation and exceptional clinical outcomes and further demonstrates Brooks’ vision to redefine post-acute rehabilitation.
The rehabilitation hospital will reside on eight acres adjacent to Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix hospital, near the Arizona State University Health Futures Center. The estimated $70M project will begin construction in December 2024 with a projected opening in summer 2026. Plans include a three-story, 80KSF hospital with 60 private patient rooms and the ability to expand as demand for services increases. The new hospital is expected to add more than 200 jobs to the market at full maturity.
Doug Baer, Brooks Rehabilitation President and Chief Executive Officer says, “Brooks Rehabilitation is honored to join with Mayo Clinic to further expand patient care and services and deliver on Brooks’ mission to empower people to achieve their highest level of recovery and participation in life through excellence in rehabilitation.”
The Arizona expansion aligns with other growth initiatives, including adding beds to its existing three inpatient hospitals and new outpatient service locations throughout Florida.
The new hospital’s development team includes: Anchor Health Properties as the developer; Kitchell as the general contractor; Hoefer Welker as the architect; Kimley-Horn as the civil engineer. Additionally, the hospital has entered into a long-term lease agreement for the property with Pan-American Financial Assistance Foundation with funding arranged and structured by Veyron.
Mayo Clinic has a minority interest in this joint venture. (Source)
