The annual U.S. News & World Report rankings for rehabilitation are based on an independent, three-year survey of board-certified physiatrists (physicians specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation). It is designed to identify those rehabilitation hospitals that excel in the treatment of individuals with complex injuries or challenging medical diagnoses -- such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurologic diseases, orthopedic trauma, amputation, cancer or cardiac conditions – and serve as a guide for patients, families and doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care.
