  4.13.08 - The Road to Recovery

Eighty-four-year-old Pearl Tenney Romney feels like a bionic woman.

"I had a knee job," she says proudly, pointing to her wrapped leg.

A few days after having a total knee replacement on March 25 at Yavapai Regional Medical Center West, she transferred to northern Arizona's only freestanding rehabilitation hospital. She said she knew she would be in good hands because Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital, 3700 Windsong Drive, recently ranked in the top 10 percent out of a total of 827 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the running for the nationwide ranking. Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation, which is the world's largest medical rehabilitation database, administers the ranking. Click here to learn more.

- Yavapai County's first free-standing Rehabilitation Hospital holds public grand opening.


Mountain Valley Regional Rehabilitation Hospital (MVRRH) will host a grand opening reception and open house on Thursday, September 14 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony at 4:00 p.m. The event will celebrate the successful start-up of acute rehabilitation services and completion of requirements for the licensing and certification of Yavapai County’s only freestanding rehabilitation hospital, serving all of central and northern Arizona.

MVRRH is a new facility, and the only one of its kind north of the metro Phoenix area, providing inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services to patients with functional deficits as a result of illness or debilitating injury such as stroke, amputation, brain injury, spinal cord injury, hip fracture or multiple trauma.

The facility features 40 patient beds, a 6,000 square foot therapy gym equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, an aquatic therapy pool, outdoor therapy courtyard, and the latest technology for acute rehabilitation services.

“MVRRH employs a staff of close to 100, which is expected to grow to 150 as the hospital swings into full operation,” said Kevin Chavez, CEO. He believes that it is the staff that really makes the difference in providing acute rehabilitative services to the community.

“Our team members are not only highly qualified and experienced in their fields of expertise, but they are passionate caregivers as well,” Chavez said. “There is a lot of excitement about opening our hospital and serving the needs of our community.”

The grand opening is being held a little over a year since the groundbreaking for the facility. Construction began in May of 2005 and was completed in May of 2006. MVRRH began accepting their first patients the middle of June. In July, the Arizona Department of Health established that MVRRH had met all the requirements for licensing and certification of a brand new hospital.

MVRRH is part of a network of post-acute care facilities operated by Ernest Health, Inc., (EHI) an Albuquerque, New Mexico based healthcare provider specializing in the development and operation of rehabilitation and related post-acute healthcare facilities in rural and under-served areas. EHI operates other facilities in New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Idaho and has a facility under construction in Utah plus several others in the planning stages in the western regions of the United States.
