WAXAHACHIE – ClearSky Health broke ground Tuesday on a new 30-bed medical rehabilitation hospital in Waxahachie.
ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Waxahachie will provide specialized, rehabilitative care to about 650 patients annually who are living with disabling injuries or illnesses such as strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or other medically-complex conditions such as COVID-19.
The hospital will provide a level of therapy that’s available only through medical rehabilitation hospitals. Patients will receive individualized care from an interdisciplinary team that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy; rehabilitative nursing; case management; respiratory therapy; dietary services; and other specialized services.
The new building will feature all private rooms, a rehabilitative gym, dining room, and an activity of daily living space.
It is expected to create about 100 new healthcare jobs for the area with its opening in Spring 2023. ClearSky Health is a premier rehabilitative healthcare provider dedicated to healing and transforming the lives of individuals who live with disabling injuries and illnesses.
The organization currently owns and operates five hospitals in Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, with plans to open new facilities in Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Wisconsin, and other Texas locations.
