Mechanicsburg, Pa.-based Select Medical Corporation announced earlier this month it had acquired Landmark Hospital of Savannah, Ga.
The 50-bed long-term acute care hospital in Savannah was previously part of Landmark Holdings of Florida. Officials with Select Medical said adding the hospital to its network of critical illness recovery hospitals will allow the company to expand its services.
“The acquisition of Landmark Hospital will allow us to expand our post-ICU services in a market where we are known for delivering exceptional, high-quality care and positive patient outcomes,” Tom Mullin, CEO of Select Medical, said. “We look forward to continuing to serve Savannah and its surrounding communities in the years ahead.”
Select Medical operated a 40-bed critical illness recovery hospital (licensed as long-term acute care) in the Savannah market for 20 years. Officials with the company said those services, at Select Specialty Hospital-Savannah, would be relocated to the newly acquired hospital and the Landmark name would be changed to Select Specialty Hospital name. The company said the hospital is actively admitting and caring for high-acuity, medically complex patients who require extended healing and recovery.
With more than 100 critical illness recovery hospitals in 29 states, Select Medical is one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals in the country. The company also has 36 rehabilitation hospitals in 14 states, as well as 1,922 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in 39 states and the District of Columbia. The company has operations in 40 states and the District of Columbia in total.
