The Select Specialty Hospital on Marie Curie Drive is the latest medical facility in Garland to announce plans to close its doors.

The last day of operations is Feb. 9, the Pennsylvania-based health system that operates the hospital confirmed on Tuesday.

The facility, which focuses on patients with acute or chronic respiratory disorders, sits on the third floor of Baylor Scott and White Medical Center of Garland.

Last year Baylor announced it would close that Garland location because of a patient shortage. Select Specialty leased the east and west wings of the facility's third floor.

“We expect to have all patients discharged by Feb. 2 to either another acute care facility or home, if appropriate,” Shelly Eckenroth, vice president of communications for the Select Medical health system, told The Dallas Morning News.

A notice from the Texas Workforce Commission released Tuesday indicates that 96 employees will be laid off next month. Eckenroth said the system, which operates 166 facilities across Texas, is exploring opportunities to move affected staff to other facilities in its North Texas network.

That includes a total of 50 specialty hospitals, physical therapy and rehabilitation centers, in Dallas and the surrounding area.
