Everest Rehab Hospital announces a new academic and clinical affiliation with the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville that will bring enhanced physical therapy, innovative speech and hearing education, and clinical internships to their students.

“The alliance between Everest Rehabilitation and the University of Arkansas is an important step forward in the evolution of high-quality, community-based care,” says Wendy Yates, RN, CEO of Everest Rehabilitation of North West Arkansas. “Everest Rehabilitation has always been committed to championing the best in health care for patients in the communities where they live and work. Through this alliance, we are able to open access to Physical and Speech therapy students to provide high level care to patients in communities across North West Arkansas and beyond.”

Everest develops identical, modern, 40,000-square-foot, 36-bed, single-story physical rehabilitation hospitals. With each of the 36 private rooms complete with contemporary art, 65-inch flat screen TVs and a private luxury bathroom, staying at Everest’s hospitals are more compared to a luxury hotel versus a typical hospital setting. Everest Rehabilitation Hospitals are predesigned with an option to add an additional 17 private rooms should the market dictate the need for expansion.

To better serve the needs of patients, Everest hospitals include spacious, technologically advanced equipped inpatient and outpatient physical therapy gyms, a large outdoor mobility courtyard for therapeutic use, aqua therapy, a completely furnished life skills training apartment with a full kitchen and bathroom, in-house dialysis, and an in-house pharmacy. Included in the facility are several family gathering areas, an extra-large dining hall and an outdoor patio. The hospital will serve patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, speech impediments, amputation, pulmonary disease, orthopedic injury, COVID-19, and other medically complex conditions.
