    Introduction    Voorhees Township located in Camden County, New Jersey is less than 20 miles east of Philadelphia, and midway between New York and Washington, D.C. The community is very welcoming to new business making it ideal for business growth and potential in an expanding economy. The population in Voorhees is about 29,000 with about 4,600 in the over 65 group. Camden County has a population of about 520,000 with 65,000 over 65 years of age. There are over 10 senior living centers in Voorhees but the community is lacking a physical rehabilitation hospital to meet the needs of this growing elder population. The “Baby Boomers” are just beginning to enter our senior age group and within just a few years the over 65 group will be the major group in the United States. In fact, seniors will double in numbers within the next twenty years. Business Overview: Patients expect and deserve quality medical care. Physicians, by nature, want what is best for their patients. With the advent of specialty hospitals, physicians can own, run, and control a superior center designed to deliver the highest quality health care. Neurosurgeons who manage their own hospital may set the standards for medical excellence, with patient satisfaction as their primary focus. Only a few generations ago, physician-owned hospitals were common. Sadly, communities all over the United States haven’t enough hospitals to accommodate the growing demands of the geriatric patient. Perhaps the most significant specialty hospital to meet the needs of the geriatric population is a physical rehabilitation hospital. Voorhees does not have a rehabilitation hospital within the community. Now is the time to plan and establish such a facility.

Community Leaders in Voorhees are very supportive of a rehabilitation hospital and have assured us they will lend a hand in any way necessary to bring the hospital to the community. Physicians have expressed to us the need for rehabilitation services and are looking forward to a hospital for their patients. While an adult physical rehabilitation hospital treats the needs of all adult patients, the geriatric population makes up about 95% of the patients treated in a rehab hospital. This is easy to understand when we realize that rehabilitation diagnoses are often associated with illnesses and incidents that occur, as we get older. For instance strokes, amputations, fractures of femurs, poly arthritis and traumatic brain injuries are just a few of the diagnostic categories that are treated in a rehabilitation hospital. The professionals working in the hospital include physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, social services, psychologists, and recreational therapists. These groups of professionals work together as a multidisciplinary team to treat the patient. Their goal is to provide integrated care to disabled individuals in order to assist these individuals in reaching the highest functional level of independence and return the patient to a quality life. It is very important to the community to establish a physical rehabilitation hospital in Voorhees. The hospital will also provide an outpatient department to offer a continuum of care for the patient after they have been discharged from the hospital. This is very important to total patient care and maintenance. A Wellness Program for all seniors within the community has been planned. This program will assist geriatrics in maintaining a healthy and independent lifestyle. The hospital is also planning to offer a Traumatic Brain Injury Unit. This unit will specialize in treating the patient that has sustained a closed head injury. We are very excited about this facility and expect that the hospital will become a regional hub for the treatment of these injuries. We anticipate hiring around 150 employees to support hospital services. Many of these employees are medical professionals and will certainly add to the economy. Community members that we have been in contact with are looking forward to not only the hospital providing a much-needed service but also creating additional jobs in the area. We have an obligation to ensure that health care services like rehabilitation are available to all who need these specialized services but specially our seniors in Voorhees and surrounding areas. This hospital will provide these services. However, given the current economic situation as well as the approval of health care reform as of Dec 2009. The New Inpatient Rehab hospital development will presents us with an opportunity to integrate the full range of acute, post-acute, and senior care across a major market. This innovative approach is in alignment with the intent of the new Obama healthcare reform initiatives to improve the quality and efficiency of care at all types of inpatient facilities

What Will Sets Us Apart         Our People BRH will recruits and retains the nation’s top rehabilitation professionals who are driven by our vision of helping people regain their lives and daily exercise our core values of excellence, integrity, teamwork and fun. We back our employees with competitive compensation and benefits, advanced training, educational offerings and professional development support. State-of-the-Art Technology Through Palm® technology and our web-based patient tracking system, our rehab programs are able to provide real-time data on patient functional improvements, program demographics, satisfaction levels, sources of referral and key performance measures.

Electronic data transfer also results in full Medicare compliance with accurate and timely billing and reporting. Evidence-Based Practices We will implement only the evidence -based programs with Clinical Practice Guidelines for patient diagnoses such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s disease. The guidelines, founded on evidence-based practices, standardize and enhance the quality of patient care we deliver across the continuum of care while helping improve Out comes and reduce costs. They also serve as validation and groundwork for our specialty programs. Dennis While the healthcare industry has historically fared better than others during economic downturns, recessionary pressures can have far-reaching effects on a company’s ability to raise additional capital. In contrast, our strong capital position enhances our competitive advantage in a challenging market by giving us greater flexibility with potential partners searching for solutions to economic constraints and allowing us to continue to evaluate growth opportunities. It also finances our investments in technologies that enable further efficiencies and keep us on the cutting edge. An IT Roadmap Government efforts to reduce healthcare costs will continue to challenge us to develop more efficient and innovative ways to deliver care. As technology takes a central role in emerging discussions on healthcare reform, we once again are positioning ourselves at the technology forefront. We will be advancing to the next generation in point-of-care technology. We also will be upgrading our therapy management system with a web-based platform that offers important new functionalities, including integrated labor management, an online patient scheduler, and an insurance verification and authorization tool. These enhancements are part of an IT roadmap we’ve outlined to further automate, streamline and standardize the processes that drive our business. Positioning for Growth In 2011, the first wave of Baby Boomers will enter Medicare, significantly increasing demand for the restorative, self-sustaining treatment we provide. Our efforts will continue to center on meeting this growing demand by executing the long-range strategic plan that has guided us over the past few years. Our plan, together with a healthy balance sheet and an expanding post-acute market, create opportunity for our continued growth and prosperity.

Medicare to adjust payments to Rehab facilities August 01, 2008 | Bernie Monegain, Contributing Editor WASHINGTON – The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services set new nursing home payment rates for 2009 and issued a final rule to on payment for services for people who need the intensive rehabilitation services provided by Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities, or IRFs. The final rule on rehabilitation payments will appear in the August 8 Federal Register and will be effective for fiscal year 2009, beginning Oct. 1, 2008. Rehabilitation patients are recovering from serious illnesses or injuries, such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, severe burns and amputations. There are currently more than 1,200 facilities that are paid as IRFs. Medicare payment rates to nursing homes will increase by $780 million next year, CMS officials announced. The change is the result of a 3.4 percent increase in the annual market basket calculation of the cost of goods and services included in a skilled nursing facility stay. CMS projects that Medicare payments to inpatient rehabilitation facilities under the final rule will be approximately $5.6 billion in fiscal year 2009.

"The payment rates and policies adopted in this final rule will make it possible for beneficiaries who are severely impaired by illness or injury, but who are able to participate in an intensive program of rehabilitation, to obtain high quality care in an inpatient setting," said CMS Acting Administrator Kerry Weems. Since 2002, Medicare has paid rehabilitation hospitals and rehabilitation units in acute care hospitals for inpatient stays under the IRF prospective payment system. Under this system, patients are classified into case-mix groups, taking into account the patient's physical and cognitive status. Medicare establishes a weight for each case-mix group based on the average resources required for treating a patient in that group. Medicare makes a single payment to the facility based on a base rate, which is updated annually for inflation. The base rate is further adjusted to account for specific characteristics and the location of the facility. The payment rates set by the IRF for rehabilitation therapy services are higher than would be paid for services in other settings, such as hospital outpatient departments, skilled nursing facilities or in the home health setting, because these patients have more severe and more complex medical conditions that need more intensive and coordinated rehabilitation services. The final rule sets the inflation update for the standard federal rate at zero percent for 2009. "The rule CMS is adopting today will help to ensure that people with Medicare have access to rehabilitation services that are appropriate to their medical conditions, and that will help them reach their maximum level of recovery as quickly as possible," said Weems.
