Select Medical Launches Innovative Neuro Transitional Center in Central Pennsylvania

Select Medical Launches a Cutting-Edge Neuro Transitional Center in Harrisburg

In an exciting development for healthcare in Central Pennsylvania, Select Medical Corporation has officially announced the opening of a 12-bed rehabilitative neuro transitional center (NTC) situated at 3705 Elmwood Drive, Harrisburg, PA 17110. This facility, scheduled to commence patient admissions in April 2026, will be the first of its kind in the region, marking a significant milestone in the landscape of rehabilitative care.

According to Tom Mullin, CEO of Select Medical, the new NTC aims to meet the increasing demands of patients who require extensive post-hospital rehabilitation due to serious cognitive, physical, or behavioral issues which often follow catastrophic injuries or illnesses. "We are excited to open the doors of the first neuro transitional center in Central PA to meet the growing needs of patients," stated Mullin. He added that the dedicated teams at the NTC will provide expert assistance to help each patient regain functionality and learn independent living skills necessary for a safe return home.

The Select Medical Neuro Transitional Center will feature a physician-led clinical team, ensuring that patients receive comprehensive care in a residential environment. This facility will cater to individuals recovering from various neurological conditions, including acquired brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, who require ongoing medical coordination, specialized rehabilitative therapies, and close supervision before reintegrating into their communities and returning home safely.

Moreover, Select Medical already manages three inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the region, including the Helen M. Simpson Rehabilitation Hospital and the Penn State Health Rehabilitation Hospital. This new NTC will provide an additional specialized care option for patients transferring from these facilities who need enhanced rehabilitative support after their hospital stay.

The establishment of the neuro transitional center comes at a time when the significance of tailored rehabilitative services is more relevant than ever. With advancements in medical technology and therapies, the aim is to not just treat but to elevate the quality of life for individuals facing debilitating conditions.

Select Medical itself is recognized as one of the largest operators of critical illness recovery hospitals and outpatient rehabilitation clinics across the United States, boasting a track record of successfully managing 104 critical illness recovery hospitals across 28 states, 38 rehabilitation hospitals in 15 states, and nearly 2,000 outpatient clinics nationwide as of the end of 2025. This wealth of experience positions the NTC to potentially set new standards in rehabilitative care.

This initiative is a part of Select Medical’s ongoing commitment to not only enhance healthcare delivery but also to contribute positively to community health outcomes in Central Pennsylvania. As the new center gears up for its grand opening, stakeholders and community members alike await the opportunity to witness the positive impacts it is poised to offer.

With the Neuro Transitional Center's launch, Central Pennsylvania steps forward into a future where patients needing extensive rehabilitation have access to world-class care and support tailored to their unique needs.
