Strategic healthcare alliance leads to more jobs in West Michigan

Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital has formed a strategic alliance with The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC) that will lead to significant job opportunities and growth for therapists and other employees in the rehabilitation sector in West Michigan.

According to Mary Free Bed CEO Kent Riddle, the alliance with RIC will allow Mary Free Bed to reach more patients. "It will help accelerate our healthcare network throughout the region," he says, adding that previously, many patients with rehabilitation needs would "go without" due to lack of access.

RIC is considered one of the world's leading rehabilitation facilities, providing advocacy, patient care and research. Riddle characterizes RIC as being the Mayo Clinic of rehabilitation services.
