PeaceHealth opens the doors before it opens the hospital
Two Friday open houses offer a look inside Springfield's new 42-room rehabilitation hospital; the first patient is expected in September.
Springfield's new rehabilitation hospital is not taking patients yet, but it is taking visitors this morning. PeaceHealth has two open houses Friday, Aug. 21, from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 3555 Game Farm Road.
The 42-room hospital is designed for people recovering from strokes, brain injuries and serious illnesses that require intensive rehabilitation. The memorable parts are practical: an adaptive kitchen for relearning daily tasks, a transition apartment for practicing independence and an outdoor mobility courtyard.
PeaceHealth told KVAL it expects to admit its first patient Sept. 14 and eventually serve 60 patients. That is a target, not a promise that referrals or insurance approvals are already settled. People considering care should use the hospital's official patient page or call before making plans.
Field notes
What changed: PeaceHealth scheduled two public Friday open houses at the new Springfield inpatient rehabilitation hospital before its expected September patient launch.
Why it matters: Lane County residents needing intensive rehabilitation have often had to travel farther for specialized recovery care, including brain-injury treatment.
Who may be affected: Patients recovering from strokes, brain injuries and serious illness, plus families, caregivers and local referral providers.
