Loma Linda University Health and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, an operating division of Lifepoint Health, celebrated as they officially broke ground on the new Loma Linda University Rehabilitation Hospital, a free-standing hospital that will include 80 dedicated rehabilitation beds.
“For three decades, our East Campus Hospital has provided comprehensive rehabilitation services to those recovering from life-altering conditions,” said president and CEO of Loma Linda University Health Anthony Hillard. “Today’s groundbreaking allows us to nearly double our capacity and ensures we can continue meeting the growing needs of our community with the highest standard of care.”

The rehabilitation hospital will be equipped with amenities, adaptive units, multidisciplinary therapy gymnasiums and more to encourage patient movement and activity, according to LLU Health.
“Providing high-quality, evidence-driven specialty care is the driving force of this partnership,” said Russ Bailey, president of Lifepoint Rehabilitation. “We are deeply committed to investing in the people, facilities and cutting-edge technologies that empower patients to reclaim their independence, close to home.”
