Premier Partner: Encompass Health

Encompass Health is focused on two things: the progress our patients make and the outcomes they achieve. You can see it in our industry-leading performance scores.

As soon as you arrive, we will measure how much help you need to perform basic skills – this is called your Functional Outcome Measures. Your rehabilitation team reviews these with you and sets challenging but attainable goals. They then design a personalized treatment plan to help you meet your specific goals. Before you leave our hospital, we will see how much you’ve improved, how well you have met your goals, and give you the materials and training you need to continue your progress at home.

The Encompass Health Way:

SET THE STANDARD: We are committed to going above and beyond, never settling for anything less than excellence. We pride ourselves on being industry leaders and challenge ourselves to continuously improve.

LEAD WITH EMPATHY: We start with empathy, taking the time to understand the physical, mental and emotional needs of each other and those we support. We listen, make deep connections and engage on a personal level to better serve those we support.

DO WHAT'S RIGHT: We do the right thing the right way, no matter how difficult, even when no one is looking. We’re not afraid to have hard conversations. If we make a mistake, we acknowledge it, proactively find a resolution and make it right going forward.

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE: We have a positive spirit and find the light even in the most difficult situations. We bring our whole self to work. We celebrate successes and inspire others to create meaningful impact.

STRONGER TOGETHER: We believe our individual strengths make us stronger together. We take accountability for our actions, connect across teams and lean in to get it done – at all levels of the company.

What is the Premier Employer Partnership?

Laurel's Premier Employer Partnership leverages support from local employers to furnish students with financial resources to obtain their degree. Participating businesses and organizations play a key role during every step in the process, providing career guidance, meaningful workplace experience and the opportunity to start working immediately following graduation. Employers benefit by developing a pipeline of local students who are trained in a relevant degree program and are engaged in both their workplace and their city or town. This Premier Employer Partnership at Laurel offers a, no-cost, program that gives employers the opportunity to help train and shape the workforce that will move their industry forward, and help keep their local communities vibrant.
