The Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 (formerly Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) has once again been recognized as the national leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation, consecutively topping the U.S. News & World Report list for the past 28 years. It is the only hospital of its kind to hold this distinction.
We embrace this recognition as a calling of conscience to do even more, raising the bar for ourselves and for this field of medicine. It is a great honor to again be recognized by physicians and U.S. News & World Report.
