ClearSky Health

What ClearSky Health does

ClearSky Health is a private, for-profit operator of medical rehabilitation hospitals founded in 2020 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company owns and operates 15 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals across seven U.S. states (Arizona, Florida, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin), with most facilities sized at 30 to 41 beds, and has announced two additional Wisconsin hospitals (Eau Claire opening mid-2026, Beloit opening late 2027). ClearSky delivers physician-led interdisciplinary rehabilitation care — physical, occupational, and speech therapy combined with 24/7 rehabilitative nursing, case management, respiratory therapy, and dietary services — to patients recovering from strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and other medically complex conditions.

The company differentiates through regulatory-grade infrastructure (Joint Commission accreditation, minimum 15 hours of therapy per week, all-private-room facilities, dedicated rehabilitation gyms, and ADL simulation spaces) and through demonstrably superior clinical outcomes: Flower Mound, Avondale, and Weatherford have each earned Top 10% national rankings among 892 U.S. inpatient rehabilitation facilities in consecutive years. Core service lines include inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, post-discharge care coordination, and specialty programs in stroke, neurological, orthopedic, chronic illness, and critical care recovery. Distribution combines directly-owned facilities with strategic referral partnerships and co-located arrangements (notably with Froedtert Kenosha Hospital) and joint-venture, operational management, and de novo development relationships with acute care systems.

Revenue is generated through patient care services — inpatient stays, outpatient therapy, and care coordination — billed primarily through Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by individual patient care plans and length of stay. Following a May 2026 strategic recapitalization and CEO/CFO transition (Michael Warrington ex-Kindred Healthcare as CEO; Bonnie Cushman ex-Vibra/Ernest Health as CFO), ClearSky is positioned to accelerate de novo expansion in underserved rehabilitation markets with explicit investment in technology and staff development.
