The 63,000-square-foot, two-story rehab hospital is in Springfield, Mo., just across the street from the Mercy Orthopedic Hospital Springfield site where McCarthy is already at work. Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital Springfield will have 60 beds and provide inpatient rehabilitation for patients who are recovering from strokes, brain or spinal cord injuries, amputations, complex orthopedic injuries and other conditions. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2014.
McCarthy earned the work through a competitive proposal and interview process in front of a decision-making team that included Duke Reality Corporation, functioning as the owner, and a team from Mercy and Centerre as the eventual building tenant. Nashville, Tenn.-based Earl Swensson Associates, Inc. is the project architect.
Mercy Rehabilitation Hospital Springfield is a partnership between Mercy and Centerre Healthcare Corporation, a national leader in the development and operation of rehabilitation hospitals. Centerre has partnered with Mercy for similar projects in St. Louis and Oklahoma City.
