Rehabilitation Hospital of Henry celebrates five years

Oct. 15, 2026 – Rehabilitation Hospital of Henry is celebrating five years of providing inpatient rehabilitation care. Since opening in 2021, the hospital has served more than 5,600 patients from Henry County and surrounding communities. Throughout that time, the hospital has focused on helping patients regain independence and return to the activities that matter most to them.

One of the hospital's proudest accomplishments is its discharge-to-home rate. More than 80% of patients are discharged home following inpatient rehabilitation.

"Helping patients recover and return home to their families is at the heart of everything we do," said Andrew Howard, hospital CEO. "We're proud of the impact our team has made over the past five years and grateful for the trust our community has placed in us."

The hospital's interdisciplinary team of therapists, physicians, nurses and support staff works together to develop individualized treatment plans for each patient. The team cares for individuals recovering from strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, orthopedic injuries and other complex medical conditions.

"As we celebrate this milestone, we are grateful to our hospital team and community partners who have helped make our success possible," Howard said. "Their dedication has helped us to make a meaningful difference throughout Henry County over the past five years."

As part of the hospital's fifth anniversary celebration, the Henry County Board of Commissioners presented Rehabilitation Hospital of Henry with a certificate of recognition for its service to the community.

Looking ahead, the hospital is focused on strengthening its connection to the community, including expanding support for local veterans through partnerships with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other veteran service organizations.

"As we plan for the future, we remain focused on finding new ways to serve those in our region who can benefit from inpatient rehabilitation," Howard said. "Strengthening our support for veterans is an important part of that commitment, and we're eager to grow those efforts in the years ahead."

Rehabilitation Hospital of Henry opened to patients in 2021 and is a joint venture partnership between Encompass Health and Piedmont. The hospital holds Joint Commission Disease-Specific Care Certification in Stroke Rehabilitation.
