Siskin Hospital for Physical Rehabilitation has announced that it plans to acquire St. Barnabas Healthcare Center.
St. Barnabas, which is a skilled nursing facility and provides rehab therapy, already is located on Siskin Hospital’s main campus and currently shares some services with the hospital.
“By joining these two not-for-profit, mission-driven organizations, it will allow us to expand the continuum of care currently provided by Siskin Hospital to the community,” said Carol Sim, President and CEO of Siskin, in a news release.
Sim said Siskin Hospital and St. Barnabas are “adapting in a beneficial way to prepare for and ensure a successful future.”
The acquisition will bring acute inpatient rehabilitation, subacute rehabilitation, and outpatient rehabilitation services, in addition to long-term care under one entity, Siskin officials said.
