Brooks Rehabilitation broke ground in January on its state-of-the-art inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the Bartram Park area of Jacksonville, Fla. The 60-bed hospital is located on the existing Brooks 115-acre campus. It is already attracting clinical experts who truly care about fostering a culture of teamwork and compassion.
"Brooks has been a recognized leader in physical rehabilitation for 50 years. We’re committed to meeting the region’s needs now and into the future,” said
Doug Baer, President & CEO. “A second hospital in the region allows more patients access to our specialized services and exceptional outcomes. We plan to expand the hospital’s capacity with additional beds as demand grows."
