ClearSky Health, a premier rehabilitative healthcare provider, recently broke ground for a new 36-bed medical rehabilitation hospital that will be located near 150 Hope Drive in Heath, Texas.
The new hospital, called ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Rockwall County, will provide specialized rehabilitative care to patients recovering from strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or other medically-complex conditions. The hospital will treat more than 650 patients annually and provide about 100 new jobs for the area.
“Locating the hospital on a street called ‘Hope’ is perfect for us, because that’s what we bring our patients – hope,” said Darby Brockette, CEO of ClearSky Health, during the groundbreaking ceremony. “Our patients come to us following acute care hospital stays with disabling injuries or illnesses that prevent them from returning to the things they like doing, such as golfing, fishing, or going to church. Our intensive rehabilitative services help our patients maximize their recoveries so they can return back to their homes and to the activities that they enjoy.”
Patients at the hospital will be treated by an interdisciplinary healthcare team that includes a physician; rehabilitation nurses; physical, occupational, and speech therapists; case managers; respiratory therapists; dietitians; and other healthcare professionals. The state-of-the-art, 45,000-square-foot building will feature all private rooms, a rehabilitative gym with specialized equipment and one-on-one therapy, a dining room with a dedicated chef and food service staff, an activity of daily living space to allow patients to receive therapy in rooms that emulate home conditions, and an outside therapeutic courtyard.
