A new rehab center will create hundreds of nursing jobs in Arizona.

Scottsdale Healthcare is planning to partner with Global Rehab to open a new inpatient rehab hospital in Scottsdale. Once completed, the new facility will increase the number of healthcare jobs Scottsdale has by about 120, and bring in about $8.3 million in payroll.

The two-story hospital will measure about 55,000 square feet and will cost about $17 million to build. The rehab center will be used to treat patients who need rehab after suffering stroke, hip fracture, neurological disorder, brain injury, spinal cord injury, traumatic injury, and other complex medical conditions.

Although the exact location of the hospital has yet to be revealed, officials say it will be located in Scottsdale between all three existing Scottsdale Healthcare hospitals and easily accessed from Loop 101. The hospital is currently slated to open in mid-2012.

Physicians and staff who work for Scottsdale Healthcare will help design the facility, and physicians will be able to invest in the structure of the building as limited partners through the Cirrus Group.

"Scottsdale Healthcare is committed to working with leading physicians in the community," Tom Sadvary, president and CEO of Scottsdale Healthcare, said in a statement. "We believe that physicians and hospitals achieve the best outcomes when they operate as teams, and this new venture illustrates our commitment to clinical integration for seamless healthcare delivery along the entire continuum of care."

Scottsdale Healthcare is a nonprofit, community-based organization of healthcare facilities with various locations throughout the Phoenix metro area. Global Rehab is a system of acute inpatient rehab hospitals with various locations throughout Texas.
