Vibra Healthcare LLC, a post-acute care provider based in Mechanicsburg, Pa, announces that it has reached an agreement to purchase full ownership of Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital.
For many years, KentuckyOne Health has managed and operated SIRH, in partnership with Clark Memorial Hospital and Baptist Health Floyd. The transition to Vibra Healthcare is set to close on June 18, 2018, according to a news release.
“Vibra Healthcare looks forward to continuing to serve the greater southern Indiana community with comprehensive medical rehabilitation services,” says Brad Hollinger, president and CEO of Vibra Healthcare, in the release. “Our intention is to continue to provide exceptional care for SIRH patients and to enhance existing services by utilizing our expertise and experience from operating similar hospitals, including several located in Indiana and Kentucky.”
“On behalf of the team at SIRH, we are looking forward to becoming a Vibra Healthcare facility,” states William Boso, executive director, Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital. “The collaborative support of all three of our partners has built a solid foundation and reputation. As part of Vibra Healthcare, we will continue our mission of serving the southern Indiana region with the highest quality rehab services for many years to come.”
“As the managing partner of SIRH, KentuckyOne Health is proud of the legacy established in southern Indiana,” shares Charles Neumann, interim CEO, KentuckyOne Health. “We look forward to working with Vibra Healthcare on a smooth transition for SIRH and the continued collaboration with our specialists at Frazier Rehab to ensure the entire region has access to quality rehabilitation services.”
“I believe Vibra Healthcare is going be a valuable partner as we continue to improve the health of our southern Indiana communities,” adds Martin Padgett, CEO, Clark Memorial Hospital. “Rehab is such an important part of completing the journey to wellness. I’m proud of the role Clark Memorial has played in this partnership for the last 24 years, and I’m excited about the future possibilities of SIRH.”
“SIRH has been our hidden jewel of rehab for many years and we are excited about this sale and new ownership,” says Dan Eichenberger, MD, CEO of Baptist Health Floyd. “The healthcare environment is rapidly changing; with SIRH’s ownership and operation by an organization highly focused on rehab services, there is support for long-term success. We will continue partnering with SIRH just as we have for the past many years because it benefits our patients and community.”
