Encompass Health announced plans to build a freestanding, 50-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Flowood, Mississippi. The hospital will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries, including strokes and other neurological disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations and complex orthopedic conditions. In addition to 24-hour nursing care, the hospital will offer physical, occupational and speech therapies designed to help patients restore function and improve their quality of life. Care will be provided by specialized nurses, therapists and physicians.

Enhabit (EHAB) announced that, along with Encompass Health (EHC), they have collected $43.1M in full satisfaction of their claims for attorneys' fees and mitigation damages in the Delaware Court of Chancery against former officer Chris Walker, Vistria Group senior partner David Schuppan, and Nautic Partners managing director Christopher Corey. These claims related to the December 2024 judgment in favor of Enhabit and Encompass Health, finding "egregious breaches of the duty of loyalty" by April Anthony, Luke James, and Walker while serving as senior officers at Encompass Health's former home health and hospice division, which is now Enhabit. Enhabit and Encompass Health will divide the settlement proceeds substantially equally. The Court of Chancery also imposed a constructive trust through which Enhabit and Encompass Health will split 43% of VitalCaring Group's ongoing profits and exit proceeds if and when VitalCaring is sold.
