Hospital, rehab giant plan $35 million facility in region

Tampa General Hospital and Kindred Healthcare LLC have broken ground on a new 59-bed, inpatient rehabilitation center, which the joint venture partners say will meet a growing need in the Tampa Bay area.

Located on Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa between Oregon and Willow avenues, the duo say the new $35 million facility also will further establish downtown Tampa as a medical district, one that could attract top scientists, physicians and researchers and “transform the area into a center for healthcare innovation.”
