Birmingham, Ala. – The Sanders Trust, one of the nation’s leading healthcare real estate investment and development companies, is pleased to announce the recent completion of the Mercy Health Rehabilitation Hospital located in Youngstown, Ohio, which officially opened its doors to care for its first patient on November 18, 2024.
The Sanders Trust was selected as the developer of the two-story, 66,000-square-foot hospital that will include 60 beds. The facility features all private rooms as well as a 12-bed secured brain injury unit with private dining and a therapy gym. With additional multidisciplinary therapy gyms outfitted with the latest therapeutic technologies, outdoor courtyards and even a small apartment that includes a simulated kitchen and bathroom, the facility supports patients as they prepare to return to activities of daily living.
“This facility was thoughtfully designed with the Youngstown community in mind, providing advanced rehabilitation services to help patients regain their independence and improve their quality of life,” stated Rance Sanders, President and CEO of The Sanders Trust. “We are deeply grateful to Lifepoint Health and Mercy Health, for their collaboration in bringing this state-of-the-art hospital to fruition, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have on the region.”
