Group appeals state agency's decisions on Franklin rehab hospitals

An entity whose application to build a 31-bed rehabilitation hospital in Franklin was denied by a state agency earlier this week has appealed that decision and the approval of HealthSouth Corp.’s rival 40-bed project.

Middle Tennessee Rehabilitation Hospital LLC filed the appeals within the required 15 days from the time a decision is taken by the Health Services and Development Agency.
Members of the agency, which reviews health care projects in the state, voted 5-3 to approve HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Williamson County.

Separately, a 4-4 tie in a vote on Middle Tennessee Rehabilitation meant that project didn’t receive approval.

Only one hospital could be approved based on a state analysis of health-care needs.

Middle Tennessee Rehabilitation, whose partners include medical properties developer O.B. McCoin and consultant Patricia Greenberg, wants both of its appeals reviewed together.
