Brooks Rehabilitation, a national leader in treating patients recovering from life-altering brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, and other complex conditions, announced its expansion into Arizona with the opening of a new inpatient rehabilitation hospital on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus.
This partnership marks Brooks Rehabilitation’s first facility outside of Florida, where it has been recognized as the No. 1 rehabilitation hospital by U.S. News & World Report.
Project Overview
The new rehabilitation hospital will be located on eight acres adjacent to Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix hospital, near Arizona State University Health Futures Center.
The $70 million facility will feature a three-story, 80,000-square-foot hospital and 60 private patient rooms with the potential for future expansion.
Construction starts in December 2024 and is scheduled to open in summer 2026.
The project is expected to create over 200 jobs in the Phoenix market once fully operational.
Strategic Partnership
This expansion builds on the strong collaborative relationship between Brooks Rehabilitation and Mayo Clinic, particularly their successful partnership in Jacksonville, Florida. The new facility will integrate Brooks Rehabilitation’s expert care with Mayo Clinic’s renowned medical services to provide comprehensive, high-quality rehabilitation care for patients with complex needs.
Doug Baer, President & CEO of Brooks Rehabilitation, said, “Brooks Rehabilitation is honored to join with Mayo Clinic to expand patient care and services in Arizona. Our mission is to empower people to achieve their highest level of recovery and participation in life through excellence in rehabilitation.”
Dr. Richard Gray, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Arizona, also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. “Brooks Rehabilitation’s proven ability to meet the complex rehabilitation needs of our patients makes them an ideal partner as we continue to enhance our services in Phoenix.”
