Partner with Ernest Health
At Ernest Health, we specialize in the development and operation of medical rehabilitation hospital providing high-quality, cost-effective services through a healing and nurturing environment in each of our facilities.
We are recognized nationally as a healthcare leader, with hospitals located throughout the United States. Each hospital is managed locally to best meet the needs of each community. However, we share information, knowledge, and resources throughout all our hospitals so we can continually evaluate and improve the delivery of care to our patients.
Our Development Philosophy
Ernest Health has experience in operating facilities in all licensure categories. Our development philosophy is uniquely market-driven to provide quality outcomes by partnering with local providers to reduce readmission rates and improve patient satisfaction.
We do this based on a number of factors that include:
- Analysis of gaps in the current delivery system
- Redirection of acute-care discharges to the most medically-appropriate and cost-effective setting
- Consolidation of existing services into a seamless continuum of care
- Relocation of acute care-based units to a freestanding setting
We evaluate each potential partnership extensively to ensure that the collaboration between Ernest Health and a potential community healthcare partner is beneficial to the community.
Our partnership strategies include:
- Affiliations with existing institutions and rehabilitation programs
- Joint ventures with community hospitals
- Acquisition or purchasing of existing rehabilitation programs,
- Construction of free-standing facilities – often on or near existing acute-care provider campuses
- Interim management of existing rehabilitation programs
