August 27, 2024
Canyon Vista Medical Center (CVMC) has announced it will expand and enhance rehabilitation therapy services by opening a 10-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit. The acute rehabilitation unit is the best setting for intensive treatment toward recovery and a return to independence. The unit is anticipated to open to patients this Fall.
“Canyon Vista has a long history of offering exceptional care to patients recovering from serious illness or injury,” said Cosette Britton, chief nursing officer at CVMC. “We are always exploring opportunities to continue growing our hospital services to expand access to under-resourced specialty care for our patients, and we are pleased to work with Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a business unit of our parent company Lifepoint Health, to open and operate a 10-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit. We are fortunate to have Lifepoint Rehabilitation’s expertise within our system of care and know that our colleagues will provide the managerial experience, resources and technology we need to treat patients with more complex needs and serve them locally.”
Lifepoint Rehabilitation is the largest manager of hospital-based acute rehabilitation units in the country, treating 60,000+ patients annually through these and joint venture free-standing rehabilitation hospitals. As a leading provider of rehabilitation program management services, it consistently outperforms national industry averages on quality measures.
“We are committed to investing in programs and services that enhance the quality of patient care at CVMC and increase our community’s access to essential services to improve patients’ functional abilities and independence,” said Dr. Shaun Phillips, chief executive officer at CVMC. “We know inpatient rehabilitation care is vitally needed in our community, and we are honored to expand and enhance these services at CVMC as we advance our mission of making communities healthier.”
With an emphasis on recovery, the rehabilitation experts provide innovative treatment approaches to assist patients in returning to a normal lifestyle. The CVMC rehab professionals include occupational therapists, certified occupational therapist assistants, physical therapists, certified physical therapist assistants, speech-language pathologists, nursing staff and physicians. Each patient is different, and their rehab teams realize how important it is to tailor treatment accordingly. CVMC strives to treat the whole patient – physically, emotionally and socially.
The inpatient rehabilitation unit is expected to open to patients this Fall.
