New Rehab Hospital Coming to Post Falls
30 Jun
Summary
- A 50-bed rehabilitation hospital will be built in Post Falls.
- The new facility is expected to open in 2028.
- It will offer specialized care for various recovery needs.
An Alabama-based healthcare company, Encompass Health, is planning to construct a new 50-bed rehabilitation hospital in Post Falls, Idaho. The 55,000-square-foot facility is slated for completion in 2028. It will serve patients recovering from significant illnesses, stroke, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations, and orthopedic issues.
Services will include 24-hour nursing care and comprehensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies. The hospital will feature private rooms, a large therapy gym, an in-house dialysis suite, and an outdoor therapy courtyard. This expansion aims to address the documented underservice of inpatient rehabilitation in the rapidly growing Kootenai County.
Construction is set to begin this fall on a 7.88-acre lot east of Highway 41 and north of Prairie Avenue. Encompass Health, which operates over 175 hospitals nationwide, currently has limited presence in the Pacific Northwest, with only one other facility in Boise, Idaho. This new Post Falls hospital will significantly increase the region's inpatient rehabilitation capacity.
