Business profile

Updated

Encompass Health operates inpatient rehabilitation hospitals for people recovering from major illnesses or injuries. Its patients receive intensive therapy and nursing care while staying in a hospital, with the aim of regaining physical and cognitive abilities and becoming more independent. Conditions treated include strokes, hip fractures and neurological disorders.

A physician refers patients for the specific inpatient rehabilitation care they need, usually after an acute-care hospital stay. Treatment is directed by physician orders and delivered by nurses and physical, occupational and speech therapists. Case managers and other clinical staff monitor progress, document care and help plan discharge. The hospitals also use clinical protocols and technology in treatment.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
