BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - HealthSouth Corp. said Monday it will sell about 600 outpatient rehabilitation centers in 35 states to Select Medical Corp. for about $245 million as it proceeds to focus solely on post-acute care while it recovers from a massive fraud.
HealthSouth is shedding a division that once formed the most visible part of its business and helped make it the nation's largest rehabilitation chain.
Chief executive Jay Grinney said HealthSouth was selling its outpatient rehabilitation division to reduce its long-term debt. Based in Mechanicsburg, Pa., the privately held Select Medical purchased the rehabilitation centers at auction.
