Encompass Health Corporation opened a 49‑bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Irmo, South Carolina, on March 3 2026, adding its 11th location in the state and bringing the company’s total network to 173 hospitals across 39 states and Puerto Rico.
The new Irmo facility offers comprehensive rehabilitation for stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, and complex orthopedic recovery, providing patients with a minimum of three hours of therapy each day, 24‑hour nursing care, and frequent physician visits.
The opening aligns with Encompass Health’s strategy to add 6‑10 new hospitals annually through 2027; in 2025 the company added 517 beds across eight new hospitals, and it has guided 2026 revenue to $6.365‑$6.465 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $1.340‑$1.380 billion.
Ronnie Wagley, president of Encompass Health’s South Atlantic region, said, "We are thrilled that Encompass Health Irmo is now open, enabling patients in the community to recover from serious illnesses and injuries closer to home."
Analysts have projected a 32.30% upside for the company, with 12 buy ratings, reflecting confidence in continued demand for inpatient rehabilitation amid an aging population and a persistent supply‑demand imbalance.
