Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Parkersburg has opened 29 new private rooms to treat patients in need of a hospital-level of care for rehabilitation services. The hospital located at 3 Western Hills Drive will now include 45 beds with 29 private rooms and eight semi-private rooms.
The hospital will also undergo a full renovation and add new services in a three-phase construction project, allowing the hospital to remain fully functional until its completion by the end of 2023. Upon the completion of the renovation, the hospital will be equipped with 50 private rooms, two new bariatric rooms and an in-house dialysis suite. In addition, all existing areas of the hospital will be renovated, including resurfacing of the parking lot and a new courtyard.
“It’s all about the patient and providing the access to them here to be able to receive that rehabilitation service here in the MOV without having to travel to Columbus or to Pittsburg or some of the surrounding areas. It’s creating more patient access for those folks that will benefit from rehabilitation services,” CEO, Nathan Ford said.
The hospital serves patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries including strokes, amputations, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other complex neurological and orthopedic conditions. The multidisciplinary rehabilitation team includes physicians, registered nurses, case managers, and dieticians, who combine the latest technologies and individualized treatment plans to help patients progress toward independence. Patients receive at least three hours of therapy five days per week.
Encompass Health of Parkersburg plans to host an open house of the newly expanded and renovated hospital in late 2023, once all construction is complete.
