On April 22, El Camino Health broke ground on the El Camino Health Rehabilitation Hospital, an inpatient rehabilitation center in Sunnyvale, CA. Officials with the health system said it will offer a “safe and therapeutic environment” for individuals facing serious challenges.
“The El Camino Health Rehabilitation Hospital allows us to expand access to high-quality rehabilitation services and further solidifies El Camino Health’s growing reputation as Silicon Valley’s healthcare partner of choice,” said Dan Woods, CEO of El Camino Health, in a release. “This new facility is not just about providing rehabilitation services while patients are in treatment—it’s about supporting them beyond their stay.”
El Camino Health said the rehab facility will integrate advancements in technology with the latest in research coming out of the world of academia.
“With dedicated transitional services, we aim to help patients regain independence and successfully return to their everyday lives,” Woods added.
Construction is set to begin this month. Its doors are set to open to patients in the spring of 2027.
The four-story hospital is to feature 52 all-private rooms with full bathrooms, including “specialty care patient” rooms.
The model the health system is targeting is: acute adult inpatient care for individuals recovering from strokes, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and other severe conditions.
“Key clinical services will include physical and occupational therapies, speech pathology services and specialized programs dedicated to neurological, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and amputation rehabilitation,” a spokesperson wrote.
The new hospital will also feature a “secured brain injury” unit, with private dining and a dedicated therapy gym.
Patients will have access to large, interdisciplinary gyms and a therapeutic courtyard (i.e. golf, gardens and varied surfaces designed to enhance mobility).
“The facility will also include a transitional living apartment, designed to simulate a residential environment, where patients can practice daily living tasks in preparation for a smooth transition back home,” the spokesperson added in the release.
El Camino Health says it will be providing a suite of additional services, such as radiology, security, employee health, lab work, medical staff credentialing, biomedical engineering, and managed care contracting.
