Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $89.9 million spent. IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL YEAR (FY 2025), RML SPECIALTY HOSPITAL DELIVERED ON ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE CARE TO PATIENTS FROM OUR REFERRING COMMUNITY WHO SUFFER FROM PROLONGED, SEVERE ILLNESS. OUR CARE PROGRAMS INCLUDED THE CARE AND WEANING OF PATIENTS WHO REQUIRE PROLONGED MECHANICAL VENTILATION, THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH COMPLEX WOUNDS, AND THE MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS REQUIRING EXTENDED ACUTE HOSPITALIZATION. RML IS RECOGNIZED NATIONALLY AS A LEADER IN LONG-TERM ACUTE CARE AND IS ONE OF THE LARGEST VENTILATOR-WEANING HOSPITALS IN THE NATION. RML SERVED APPROXIMATELY 90 REFERRAL SOURCES THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS, INCLUDING PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, MAJOR TERTIARY CARE CENTERS, AND COMMUNITY HOSPITALS. NEARLY 90% PERCENT OF INPATIENT ADMISSIONS WERE DIRECT TRANSFERS FROM THESE HOSPITAL REFERRAL SOURCES. RML OPERATES A FACILITY LOCATED IN A LOW-INCOME AREA OF CHICAGO AND, DESPITE FLUCTUATIONS IN CENSUS, CONTINUES TO SUSTAIN THE VIABILITY OF AN ENTITY THAT PROVIDES QUALITY HEALTH CARE AND WELL-PAYING JOBS FOR THE INNER-CITY COMMUNITY. LONG-TERM ACUTE CARE WAS PROVIDED TO MORE THAN 1,038 PATIENTS ACROSS BOTH RML FACILITIES, INCLUDING OVER 354-PRIMARILY MINORITY-PATIENTS AT THE CHICAGO LOCATION. TO SUPPORT THE SPECIALIZED NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY, RML UTILIZES A PHYSICIAN-LED INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM TO DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT FOR ACUTE OR CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS COMPLICATED BY MULTIPLE CO-MORBIDITIES. OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND SUPERIOR CLINICAL OUTCOMES HAS ALLOWED US TO MAINTAIN LOW HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTION AND PRESSURE-ULCER RATES AND A LOW RATE OF ADVERSE OUTCOMES, DEFINED AS EXPIRATIONS AND TRANSFERS TO ACUTE-CARE HOSPITALS.
