The Sanders Trust Commences Construction - $16M Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital, Arlington, TX

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Sanders Trust (TST) announced today that it has commenced construction on a new $16 million, 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Arlington, Texas. Construction of the roughly 48,000-square-foot Texas Rehabilitation Hospital is expected to be completed in June of 2015. The hospital will serve patients who require rehabilitation following a stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or similar medical conditions and is designed for future expansion to 50 beds.

The state-of-the-art rehab hospital will be leased to a new joint venture between Nashville, Tennessee-based Centerre Healthcare Corporation (Centerre); Arlington, Texas-based Texas Health Resources and Dallas-based Methodist Health System. Centerre will operate the new hospital on behalf of the joint venture.
