Quote of note
In a statement, Everest Rehabilitation CEO Jay Quintana said they were “thrilled” to bring a hospital into the Collin County community. The hospital will serve residents from McKinney, Plano, Anna, Melissa, Allen, Fairview, Prosper, Celina and Frisco.
Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals provides one-to-one physical therapy five to seven days a week, daily visits by rehabilitation physicians, and a strong nurse-to-patient ratio that contributes to optimal outcomes and quality of care, he said.
“We adamantly believe that patients thrive when their environment and their level of care surpass their expectations,” Quintana said. “The level of care in our acute physical rehabilitation hospital setting cannot be provided at other levels of care such as skilled nursing facilities.”
