Select Medical Partners with Tallahassee Memorial for New Healthcare Expansion in Florida

Select Medical and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare Form Strategic Partnership

In an exciting development for health services in the Florida Panhandle, Select Medical Corporation has announced a strategic joint venture with Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH). This collaboration aims to operate a specialized hospital offering critical illness recovery and acute rehabilitation services. Previously recognized for providing exceptional care to critically ill patients under its Select Specialty Hospital brand, Select Medical will take the lead in this joint venture, ensuring high-quality healthcare continues to be accessible in the region.

A Commitment to Quality Care

Tom Mullin, CEO of Select Medical, emphasized the longstanding relationship with TMH, stating, "We have provided care for critically ill patients in the Tallahassee market for over two decades. This joint venture formalizes our commitment to delivering world-class care and a seamless recovery experience for our patients." The new facility will feature 47 beds, including 19 dedicated to long-term acute care and 28 for acute rehabilitation. Such a setup is anticipated to significantly enhance the rehabilitation landscape in the Florida Panhandle.

Strategic Location and Expanded Services

Located at 1554 Surgeons Drive in Tallahassee, the new Select Specialty Hospital will undergo an expansion, with construction expected to wrap up by late Q4 2026. Ryan Smith, president of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, remarked on the importance of this partnership, stating, "Having advanced specialized services next to our TMH campus will not only strengthen care coordination but also ensure patients receive high-quality services closer to home." This initiative reflects the growing demand for healthcare services in the region, addressing the needs of critically ill patients effectively.
