We have been ranked #1 by U.S. News & World Report every year since 1991. Rankings are based on several metrics that evaluate quality, expertise in particulardiagnoses, patient outcomes, and reputation. No other hospital of any kind has ever held this distinction. With a low patient-to-nurse ratio, our nursing team provides round-the-clock care. We have been awarded 5 consecutive Magnet designations for nursing excellence. We use research to continually improve our therapy and treatment. By regularly implementing evidence- based best practices (meaning care proven to be the most effective in research), our care model offers the best possible treatment and outcome for you.

Our goal is to help you regain your ability (function) and therefore your independence. Each patient has a hand- picked interdisciplinary care team to develop the right combination of therapies and treatments to help them achieve their personal best recovery. We strongly encourage family members to participate in therapy sessions and to be present during care. Family members are an important part of the team and we encourage family to be a key part of the recovery journey.

We have more than 200 active clinical trials and research studies in neuroscience, bionics, robotics and musculoskeletal medicine, among others. Our hospital offers a full spectrum of care with: • 262 inpatient beds • 5 Outpatient and DayRehab Centers • 30 alliance locations throughout Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota
