CHI Franciscan Rehabilitation Hospital

What CHI Franciscan Rehabilitation Hospital does

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Rehabilitation Hospital (formerly CHI Franciscan Rehabilitation Hospital) operates a single 60-bed inpatient acute rehabilitation facility at 815 S Vassault Street in Tacoma, Washington. The hospital provides specialized multidisciplinary rehabilitation care for patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, neurological conditions, trauma, spinal cord injury, amputation, and orthopedic injuries. It is accredited by The Joint Commission and CARF for its Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient Rehabilitation Program and Stroke Specialty Program, and was recognized on Newsweek's Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025 list for Washington state.

The hospital's product offering is structured around six core clinical programs — Neurological Rehabilitation, Spinal Cord Injuries, Brain Injuries, Stroke Rehabilitation, Amputation, and Orthopedics — each delivering customized, individualized therapy plans led by specialty-trained therapists. The facility operates as part of the Virginia Mason Franciscan Health system, leveraging the parent organization's referral network, brand equity, and operational infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician and acute-care hospital referrals through a dedicated "Make a Referral" pathway, supplemented by direct patient/family inquiries, facility tours, and a Google reviews-driven reputation presence.

Revenue is generated through inpatient rehabilitation services billed to insurance reimbursements, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay arrangements, consistent with the standard Medicare IRF PPS reimbursement framework for inpatient rehabilitation facilities. As a private, non-profit strategic operating subsidiary within the Virginia Mason Franciscan Health integrated delivery system, the hospital's financial performance is consolidated within the parent system's reporting and is not separately disclosed. The single-site, single-market footprint creates geographic concentration risk, while the dual regulatory accreditation and system-level referral integration provide structural defensibility against new entrants.
