Professional services agreement announced 27 January 2020

The rehabilitation units, at survey size: Inpatient rehabilitation at Memorial stands inside the flagship's own license: the Indiana Department of Health's hospital service reports carry twenty rehabilitation beds among Memorial's set-up beds in both 2018 and 2021, and the unit's management changed in 2020. By Beacon's release of 27 January 2020, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital — the Grand Rapids rehabilitation institution — took over management of the adult inpatient rehabilitation programs at Elkhart General and at Memorial under a professional services agreement, the physicians, nurses, and clinical staff remaining Beacon's own in the twenty-bed units at each hospital; Beacon was, on the release's statement, the first Indiana-based system to join the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Network. The unit is printed at this survey size, as briefed: the institution is a service of the flagship rather than a separate hospital, and its clinical record belongs with the advancements leg.
