Baptist Health South Florida and Lifepoint Rehabilitation recently held a celebratory ribbon cutting to officially open the Baptist Health Rehabilitation Hospital in South Miami. The new 62-bed, state-of-the-art building expands regional access to specialized, patient-centered rehabilitation care for individuals recovering from a decline in function due to an injury or illness.
The three-story, 100,000 square-foot facility is designed to serve more than 1,200 patients each year and will provide intensive therapy for patients suffering from traumatic medical situations such as a stroke, orthopedic injury or deconditioning after surgery or illness.
The hospital features specialty programs dedicated to neuro, stroke and amputation, alongside distinct clinical environments including bariatric suites, a dedicated neuro unit and rooms specially designed to treat dialysis patients. To promote movement and real-world adaptation, the facility also includes large interdisciplinary therapy gyms, a low-stimulation therapy gym and a therapeutic courtyard featuring gardens, walking paths, miniature golf and shuffleboard. Additionally, a transitional living apartment simulates a residential setting to help patients practice daily living tasks safely before being discharged home.
