Significant renovations on the building are set to begin in early fall, according to a joint press release from the two facilities.
“We are proud to expand our patient-centered care closer to home for the residents of Bradley County,” Siskin Hospital President and CEO Matthew Gibson said in the release. “Siskin Hospital and Bradley Medical’s mission philosophies align in what matters the most – providing the highest quality, compassionate care to every patient.”

Having served the Cleveland community for almost 20 years through its outpatient therapy clinic, Siskin Hospital recognized the area’s steady growth and need for inpatient rehabilitation services, the release said. The project originally began and was approved by the commission in 2022 but paused during Bradley Medical Center’s ownership transition to prioritize uninterrupted patient care and team stability.
