St. Petersburg rehabilitation hospital names new CEO

Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of St. Petersburg, an inpatient hospital expected to open to patients this October, has appointed a new CEO. 

The company announced earlier this month that longtime employee Molly Arau, 55, will take on the role of CEO at the 50-bed hospital under construction at 1000 Tyrone Blvd. N., St. Petersburg. 

“I care deeply about providing high-quality care for patients recovering from a life-changing illness or injury,” Arau says in the announcement. “It is an honor to bring the level of care Encompass Health is known for to St. Petersburg and the surrounding communities."
