Enola-based PAM Health plans to build a 42-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Wesley Chapel, Florida, it announced this week.

North of Tampa, Wesley Chapel is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. Construction on the 60,000-square-foot, two-story hospital will begin early this year. The hospital will start serving patients in early 2024 and employ approximately 120 when completed.

PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Wesley Chapel will offer inpatient and outpatient care and feature a medical team focused on increasing patient strength and endurance and improving quality of life for patients who have experienced stroke, brain injury, neurological disease and deficits, amputations, pulmonary disease, orthopedic conditions, spinal cord injury and medically complex conditions.

The company also operates PAM Health Specialty Hospital of Sarasota and PAM Health Specialty Hospital of Jacksonville, long-term acute care hospitals serving critically ill patients with complex medical conditions. In addition, PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Tavares will open in this month, and PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Jupiter will open in the spring.

“We continue to expand our services throughout Florida as we identify the need for the type of high-quality, patient-focused care that PAM Health is known for,” Anthony Misitano, founder, chairman and CEO of PAM Health said in a release. “… We look forward to offering a new level of rehabilitation care to patients in the greater Tampa region with our goal always being to help them achieve optimal outcomes.”

PAM Health provides specialty health care services through more than 70 long-term acute care hospitals and physical medicine and rehabilitation hospitals, as well as wound clinics and outpatient physical therapy locations, in 17 states.
