Cape Cod Healthcare Announces Partnership with Broad Reach Healthcare

Broad Reach to Assume Operational Management of JML Care Center in Falmouth

(Hyannis, MA – August 26, 2026) Cape Cod Healthcare is pleased to announce a partnership with Broad Reach Healthcare and JML Care Center to further enhancing access to high-quality, exceptional skilled nursing care for the upper Cape community and beyond. Broad Reach Healthcare is the owner of Liberty Commons Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Center in Chatham, a nationally recognized leader in its field and the Cape’s premier provider of skilled nursing services that has served the community for 40 years.

Located on the campus of Falmouth Hospital, JML Care Center is a state-of-the-art 132-bed skilled nursing, long-term care and short-term rehabilitation facility which completed a renovation in 2022. The center originally opened in 1989 as a philanthropic gift from Josiah K. Lilly, III, in honor of his late wife, Josephine M. Lilly, and provides a broad range of services and individualized care for patients, supporting the transition to independent or assisted living following a hospital stay, as well as long-term care.

Effective September 1, 2026, Broad Reach Healthcare will assume operational management of JML Care Center, which will remain fully owned by Cape Cod Healthcare. All JML staff will continue to be employees of Cape Cod Healthcare, and there are no planned changes to the current management team in place at JML.

“The healthcare industry continues to evolve every day, and over the years we have continually sought ways to navigate and adjust to these changes. In seeking this partnership, we saw it as a way to complement and build upon the already excellent care provided at JML Care Center,” said Cape Cod Healthcare President and CEO Michael K. Lauf. “It truly represents a triad of incredible brands coming together aimed at enhancing the care we provide and strengthening our ability to serve the upper Cape community and beyond. Combining Cape Cod Healthcare’s resources and commitment to excellence, Broad Reach’s legacy of service and expertise as the best skilled nursing facility operator on the Cape, and JML’s skilled and dedicated team will further elevate our ability to deliver an exceptional skilled nursing care experience and optimal patient outcomes, now and into the future. We are excited about the opportunities this local partnership will bring for our JML team, our patients and our community.”

Broad Reach Healthcare President and CEO Bill Bogdanovich will be responsible for the management of day-to-day operations and decision making required in this specialized field. He is a respected leader and administrator who brings extensive experience and knowledge, as well as familiarity navigating the unique regulatory challenges of this industry and commitment to a community-focused approach.

“Working collaboratively with Cape Cod Healthcare for post-acute services has always been an integral process at Broad Reach to foster a smooth recovery for patients and help reduce rehospitalizations and emergency room visits. The opportunity to now partner with the system in this capacity for the Upper Cape community is something we really appreciate,” said Bogdanovich. “We look forward to exploring and implementing ways to help JML further advance Cape Cod Healthcare’s mission to provide the highest-quality, accessible care for our region.”
