Freeman President and Chief Executive Officer Paula Baker, accompanied by other Freeman officials, will don hard hats and grab golden shovels to officially launch the state-of-the-art building’s construction on a lot located behind the hospital.

Upon completion, the 8,300-square-foot building will house physical, occupational and speech therapy departments and state-of-the-art technology, including an aquatic therapy pool and strength training equipment. It will also feature five private treatment rooms and a large gymnasium.
