WILMINGTON, DE — ChristianaCare’s Center for Rehabilitation at Wilmington Hospital has been recognized as one of the top facilities in the nation, according to Newsweek’s 2023 list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers. The prestigious accolade is a testament to the quality of care and patient outcomes delivered by the center’s dedicated team of healthcare professionals.
The award, presented in collaboration with Statista Inc., a leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider, highlighted 280 top-tier inpatient rehabilitation facilities across four regions and 25 states. ChristianaCare’s rehabilitation center distinguished itself by ranking among the top five in the South region.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition for the state-of-the-art and patient-centered care our inpatient rehabilitation team provides to our patients,” expressed Jennifer Thomas, vice president of Rehabilitation Services at ChristianaCare. “We work together with our patients to reach outstanding outcomes and meet their goals for recovery from conditions such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, strokes, trauma, and joint replacement.”
The recognition by Newsweek underscores the commitment to excellence that defines the Center for Rehabilitation at Wilmington Hospital. For over three decades, the 40-bed facility has offered superior rehabilitation services to residents of Delaware, establishing itself as a leader in the state and the region at large.
To compile the list of America’s best rehab centers, Newsweek evaluated three key data sources: a national online survey of experts knowledgeable about physical rehabilitation centers, quality metrics data published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and accreditation data on physical rehabilitation centers provided by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
ChristianaCare’s Center for Rehabilitation has consistently met the rigorous service, safety, and quality standards set by CARF, maintaining its accreditation since 1993. This commitment to excellence is further reflected in its specialty program area designations for stroke (since 2007), limb loss (since 2010), and brain injury (since 2011).
The facility’s innovative approach to rehabilitation is reflected in its state-of-the-art equipment, the latest therapeutic technology and techniques, and simulated environments that help patients regain real-life skills. This innovative approach, combined with a patient-centered care model, contributes to the center’s reputation as a top-tier rehabilitation institution.
Thomas added, “We are so proud of the incredible work of our team and our patients as we face those challenges together and get them back to living their fullest lives.”
The Newsweek recognition is an affirmation of ChristianaCare’s mission to serve the community by improving health and delivering exceptional service with love and excellence. The honor also underscores the vital role that rehabilitation centers play in healthcare, helping patients recover from serious conditions and regain their independence.
As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, the focus on patient outcomes and quality of care remains paramount. ChristianaCare’s Center for Rehabilitation exemplifies this focus, and this recent accolade is a testament to its ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care.
For healthcare professionals and patients alike, the recognition of ChristianaCare’s Center for Rehabilitation serves as a reminder of the high-quality care available in the region. It also sets a benchmark for other facilities striving for excellence in the field of physical rehabilitation.
