Online, November 15, 2011 (Newswire.com) - NNexus Health Systems, a provider of post-acute medical care, transitional and vocational rehabilitation services, was recently named to Houston Business Journal's list of the largest hospitals in the region. Nexus Health Systems placed #13 on the list, which was ranked by number of operating beds. This is Nexus' second appearance on the list.

"Winning this award exemplifies Nexus' core values, exemplary patient care, and ability to maximize the utilization of our resources. And while being named to the list is an honor, it is important to remember what this award recognizes," John W. Cassidy, MD, President, CEO and Chief Medical Officer for Nexus Health Systems explained. "It's really about the quality of care that our medical staff, employees and volunteers have provided to our patients and their families."

"Nexus Health Systems offers the country's only continuum of care for neurologically injured patients. We begin the patient's care in an intensive care unit and successfully manage their needs as they transition from a sub-acute hospital to a residential setting. This ensures better care and better outcomes for our patients," Cassidy said. "As a physician-led, patient-centered, family focused system, our philosophy is to always to place the patient's needs first and assure the people in our community who face neurological injury or chronic illness receive the best care possible."

"With the opening of Nexus Specialty Clinic, a hospital-based wound outpatient care facility in Shenandoah, Texas, Nexus Health Systems is poised for continued growth in 2011. We look forward to continuing to serve the patients, physicians, and families who depend on us for specialized and procedural-based care, advanced therapies, and innovative treatment protocols," Cassidy concluded.
