Rush U., Select Medical Partner on Hospital, Rehab Centers
Rush University System for Health (RUSH) is partnering with Select Medical to manage operations of a critical illness recovery hospital, inpatient rehabilitation hospital and 63 physical therapy centers throughout greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana. Select Medical will serve as both the majority owner and managing partner across the three post-acute care lines.
Subject to the approval of Illinois state regulators, the agreement also includes construction of an 84-bed hospital at Rush University Medical Center on Chicago’s West Side, with 30 beds dedicated to critical illness recovery and 54 beds for inpatient rehabilitation.
Anticipated completion of the new facility, to be named Rush Specialty Hospital, is 2022. Until then, Select Medical will manage the existing Rush Rehabilitation unit at the Medical Center campus.
“This partnership with Select Medical enables us to make significant advances that will benefit patients in important ways,” said Ranga Krishnan, CEO of RUSH.
