The rehabilitation clinic, located at 1241 Cross Timbers Road in Denton County, is expected to close around June 30, according to a letter sent to the Texas Workforce Commission.
The 78 impacted employees include licensed vocational nurses, physical therapists and a clinical manager.
Baylor Scott & White, a Dallas-based nonprofit healthcare system, is trying to help those affected find new jobs.
"We are committed to supporting those impacted by this transition, including identifying potential employment opportunities within Select Medical, Baylor Scott & White Institute for Rehabilitation and AccentCare, Baylor Scott & White Health’s current in-home care joint venture partner," Shelly Eckenroth, chief communications officer at Select Medical, wrote in an email to Dallas Business Journal.
