SMC's acute rehabilitation unit has been included for the fifth consecutive year on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers. This prestigious award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced in August and can be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
The America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025 ranking awards the leading physical rehabilitation facilities in the U.S. The 25 states with the most facilities according to CMS were ranked individually. The facilities from the remaining states were grouped into four regions: Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The list is based on four data pillars:
• Quality Metric: Data for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
• National Online Survey: An online survey among experts with knowledge of physical rehabilitation centers (physicians, physiotherapists, doctors, clinic managers, and other health care professionals) was conducted in cooperation with Newsweek.
• Accreditation: Data on physical rehabilitation centers provided by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC).
• Google Reviews: Reviews from Google were included as a proxy for patient satisfaction.
Based on the study results, SMC's acute rehabilitation unit is honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025. SMC's Inpatient Rehab Center is #2 in the state overall and the #1 hospital-based acute inpatient rehabilitation unit!
