LYNNWOOD, Wash. and BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (August 15, 2024) – Providence Swedish and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, a business unit of Lifepoint Health, are celebrating the opening of the new Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital, a 60,000-square-foot inpatient rehabilitation hospital located in Lynnwood, Wash. With 40 beds, the new facility doubles the number of the inpatient rehabilitation beds formerly available in the inpatient unit located at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
“Inpatient rehabilitation is important step in the healing journey for patients recovering from serious surgery, illness or injury requiring intensive rehabilitation and physician supervision,” said Kristy Carrington, chief executive, Providence Swedish North Puget Sound. “Because Washington state is fifth in the nation for the lowest number of inpatient rehabilitation beds to population size, we recognized the enormous need for these services. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Lifepoint Rehabilitation to provide patients – especially the growing number of stroke and traumatic brain injury patients – more access to these specialized services.”
Lifepoint Rehabilitation brings its personalized inpatient care model to the new facility, focusing on acute rehabilitation and recovery for patients who suffer from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, complex neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, multiple traumas, amputation and other injuries or disorders.
“We are pleased to welcome patients to Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Hospital as we expand access to inpatient rehabilitation care in Snohomish County,” said Dave Stark, chief operating officer for Lifepoint Rehabilitation. “We know that high-quality, patient-centered inpatient rehabilitation care has a profound impact on the lives of those recovering from illness, injury and surgery, as well as those managing chronic conditions. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care, as we focus on returning them to their normal daily activities as soon as possible. We look forward to partnering with Providence Swedish to elevate the wellness of the communities we will serve together for years to come.”
The facility is outfitted with leading-edge amenities and adaptive units, including an 8-bed brain injury unit, a dialysis suite, and multidisciplinary therapy gymnasiums. A specialized suite, in addition to a therapy kitchen and laundry area, give patients the opportunity to work through activities of daily living, and a therapeutic courtyard is outfitted with exterior amenities designed to promote patient ambulation and activity.
