Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals plans to construct its eighth identical 36-bed inpatient physical rehabilitation hospital in South San Antonio. The single-story $24 million dollar hospital investment is centered on 8.1 acres between Interstates 35 and 37 on S.E. Military Parkway. The construction is planned for completion in 12 months.

The approximately 40,000-square-foot hospital includes 36 private patient rooms. All of Everest’s rehabilitation hospitals are identical and pre-designed for expansion of an additional 18 private rooms, as the market dictates. The hospital will serve patients recovering from acute injuries and illness or living with disabilities and chronic medical conditions.

“We passionately believe that patients thrive exponentially when their environment and their care far exceed their expectations,” says Jay Quintana, Everest Rehabilitation’s CEO. “Our level of care in our acute rehabilitation hospital setting cannot be provided at other levels of care such as skilled nursing facilities or nursing homes. Quality rehabilitation hospitals are a much needed ‘bridge’ for patients often between surgery and home.”
