ATRIUM HEALTH BREAKS GROUND ON STATE-OF-THE-ART
CAROLINAS REHABILITATION HOSPITAL
T
o borrow from Carolinas Rehabilitation President Robert Larrison’s remarks at the groundbreaking of the new Carolinas Rehabilitation hospital this September, the momentous occasion signified more than the physical construction of the region’s most state-of-the-art rehab facility. The ceremony also commemorated the extraordinary achievements and celebrated the history of Carolinas Rehabilitation as a provider of groundbreaking rehabilitative care for 70+ years. During the event – broadcast virtually from the construction site – viewers heard from facility executives and grateful patients, including Robbie Parks, who expressed gratitude to the Adaptive Sports and Adventures Program for transforming his life and leading him to his current role as a teammate at Carolinas Rehabilitation. Among the new facility’s many anticipated enhancements and innovations are an outdoor therapy garden, a new patient bed tower for inpatient care, a center for independent living, a new home for the Adaptive Sports and Adventures Program, and much more.
