A new home for Saint Alphonsus Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, an affiliate of Encompass Health, will be opening soon to provide specialized rehabilitative care in the Boise community. While the hospital is expected to open to patients on July 28, an invitation-only grand opening celebration for the new hospital will occur soon after.
Invitation-only ribbon cutting and presentation:
Wednesday, August 7
4 – 6 p.m. MT
Hospital facts:
- The freestanding inpatient rehabilitation hospital includes 40 private patient rooms, a spacious therapy gym boasting advanced technologies, courtyard, dining room and dayroom areas.
- Beginning late July 2019, patients will receive a minimum of three hours per day of therapy for five days each week, 24-hour nursing care, access to advanced technologies and frequent visits by an attending physician during their stay.
