Baylor Scott & White Health and Select Medical Expand Joint Venture to Operate Temple Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital

TEMPLE, Texas – Baylor Scott & White Health and Select Medical today announce an expansion of their long-standing joint venture with the operation of a 45‑bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Temple.

The hospital, located at 725 Marlandwood Rd. in Temple, will welcome its first patients on January 6, 2026, and will operate under the Baylor Scott & White name in the future.

Designed to support patients recovering from conditions such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and other complex medical needs, the hospital will offer coordinated, high‑quality rehabilitative care close to home for Central Texas patients and families.    

"We are deepening Baylor Scott & White's investment in the Central Texas region. With this hospital, we are expanding our ability to support patients with access to exceptional rehabilitative services as they recover. It's a meaningful investment in the long-term health and well-being of this community," said Greg Haralson, president, Baylor Scott & White – Central Texas Region. 

"We are excited to expand our 15-year partnership with Baylor Scott & White to better serve the needs of a growing patient population in Central Texas," said Tom Mullin, CEO of Select Medical.  "Our combined clinical strengths and resources will deliver more accessible, innovative and patient-centered care that meets the evolving demands of patients requiring specialized rehabilitative care to regain their mobility, function and independence so they may return to home."

The Temple rehabilitation hospital becomes the newest facility within the Baylor Scott & White and Select Medical joint venture, which was formed in 2011. It includes more than 117 outpatient clinics, home health rehabilitation services, and five inpatient rehabilitation hospitals across Texas. The inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Dallas operated by the joint venture, Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation – Dallas, was ranked in 2025 by U.S. News & World Report as performing among the top 10 in the U.S. for rehabilitation hospitals.

This new inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Temple underscores both organizations' continued investment in expanding and elevating post‑acute care to meet the region's evolving needs.
