The Frankston Rehabilitation Private Hospital was established in 2000. The facility was acquired by St John of God Health Care in March 2004.
Located in Frankston, Victoria, the facility is a specialist rehabilitation hospital, providing neurological, orthopaedic, cardiac and reconditioning programs on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
