Deans' stroke musings: New Rehab Hospital Planned for Indianapolis

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

New Rehab Hospital Planned for Indianapolis

Unless YOU GET INVOLVED, you will be stuck with 'care'; NOT RESULTS. You need to influence the board of directors to set 100% recovery goals for all stroke survivors. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!

New Rehab Hospital Planned for Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS - Community Health Network in Indianapolis is partnering with Louisville-based Kindred Healthcare LLC to establish a third inpatient rehabilitation hospital in the Indianapolis area. The health systems have formed a joint venture to build and operate the 40-bed, 50,000-square-foot facility on the west side of Indy, which will focus on acute rehabilitation for a variety of conditions and injuries.

Financial details of the investment in the new hospital were not immediately disclosed. It is also unclear how many jobs will be created as a result.

Kindred and Community say the treatment offered at the hospital will support people who suffer from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, complex neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, multiple trauma, amputation and other injuries or disorders.

The two-story facility will feature large, multidisciplinary gyms with a variety of therapeutic technologies such as augmented reality balance training, therapy bionics and a full-body exoskeleton.

“As we consider the needs of patients and how we can best align our resources to meet those needs, we realized patient-focused, specialized rehabilitation services in our west region made sense,” said Community Chief Operating Officer Jason Fahrlander. “Our goal in everything we do is to deliver exceptional care where and when patients need it. We are happy to have a partnership that allows us to build on that promise in the Indianapolis market.”

Kindred and Community Health currently operate the Community Rehabilitation Hospital North on the northeast side of Indianapolis and Community Rehabilitation Hospital South in Greenwood.
