Construction has started on a $24 million rehabilitation center in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans. When completed, the Cobalt Medical Center will be a state-of-the-art medical facility and rehabilitation hospital to treat traumatic brain injuries, concussions, Parkinson's Disease and other services. While the project officially broke ground in the summer of 2014, construction was delayed for a year and recently resumed in late July.
The two-story, 64,000-sq-ft facility will feature 60 beds along with a full service kitchen, a dining area, administration offices and an emergency room department.
