In a significant move reflecting its ongoing growth and ambition in the healthcare sector, Encompass Health Corp. has announced the promotion of Patrick Tuer from Group President to the newly created Chief Operating Officer (COO) position. This change, effective immediately, comes as the company continues to expand its footprint in the inpatient rehabilitation market across the United States.

Mark Tarr, President and CEO of Encompass Health, praised Tuer's vast experience and deep understanding of the organization, stating, "Pat brings consequential experience and a broad depth of knowledge to this role and is a great example of the management talent we have within the Company." This leadership shift was prompted by Encompass Health’s impressive growth trajectory, fostering an environment for enhanced operational efficiency and strategic development.

As COO, Tuer will be responsible for overseeing hospital operations throughout the organization. He will further continue to report directly to Tarr, emphasizing a streamlined leadership approach amidst the company's expansion. "Our accelerated de novo program and capacity additions to existing hospitals are integral to our strategy of expanding access to high-quality rehabilitative care while improving performance across the board," Tarr noted. With an active development pipeline, Tuer's leadership is expected to be instrumental in guiding the company through this significant period of growth.

Tuer expressed enthusiasm for his new role, saying, "I'm incredibly proud to take on the role of COO. At Encompass Health, we have a powerful platform supported by a talented and mission-driven workforce. Together, we’ll continue to grow strategically, innovate thoughtfully and, most importantly, deliver exceptional care to the patients and communities we serve."

Before his promotion, Tuer held the position of Group President, where he successfully oversaw operations for three geographic regions comprising 69 hospitals. His journey with Encompass Health began in 2018, during which he has held various leadership roles, including Regional President and Regional Vice President. Prior to joining Encompass Health, Tuer accumulated extensive leadership experience across both acute and post-acute hospital settings.

Encompass Health stands as the largest operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, boasting a national reach that spans 167 hospitals across 38 states and Puerto Rico. The organization is committed to providing high-quality rehabilitative care, harnessing advanced technologies and innovative therapies to support patients on their recovery journeys. With accolades including recognition as one of Fortune's World’s Most Admired Companies™, Becker's Hospital Review’s 150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare, and Forbes' Most Trusted Companies in America, Encompass Health maintains a strong reputation for excellence in patient care.

As the company moves forward under Tuer’s leadership, expectations are high for the continuation and expansion of its commitment to quality care and operational success.
