04:15 PM EDT, 07/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Encompass Health ( EHC ) shares fell over 10% in late Tuesday trading after a New York Times investigative report revealed safety fears connected to for-profit rehabilitation hospitals, such as the ones Encompass operates.
The report revealed that some rehab facilities run by Encompass Health ( EHC ) have seen serious, if very rare, incidents of patient harm.
The report said patients' safety issues from rehab hospitals were often underreported and unpenalized, in contrast to nursing homes.
Among the most severe problems recorded by regulators in the rehab hospitals involved the deaths of several patients, according to the report.
Encompass Health ( EHC ) has been operating for over 40 years, and is the largest provider of inpatient rehabilitation services in the U.S.
