ClearSky Health broke ground on a new 36-bed medical rehabilitation hospital in the Manitowoc County village of Cleveland.
ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital Lakeshore will provide specialized, rehabilitative care to about 650 patients annually who are living with disabling injuries or illnesses like strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or other medically-complex conditions.
The hospital’s services will differ from other rehabilitation programs, providing a level of care that’s available only through medical rehabilitation hospitals. Patients will receive individualized care from a physician-led interdisciplinary healthcare team that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists; rehabilitative nurses; case managers; respiratory therapists; dietitians; and other healthcare professionals.
The new building will feature all private rooms, a rehabilitative gym with specialized equipment, a therapeutic courtyard, a dining room with a dedicated chef, and an activity of daily living space to emulate home conditions. It’s expected to create about 100 new healthcare jobs for the area with its opening planned for Fall 2025.
