HealthSouth

HealthSouth Corporation, now known as Encompass Health Corporation, is a healthcare company that specializes in post-acute care, including rehabilitation services. Founded in 1984, it grew rapidly and became one of the largest providers of inpatient rehabilitation. HealthSouth faced significant legal issues in the early 2000s due to accounting fraud, leading to a major scandal and subsequent bankruptcy in 2003. The company restructured, focused on ethics and compliance, and ultimately emerged as a key player in the rehabilitation industry, providing services to help patients recover from injuries and surgeries.
