St. Vincent’s Southside has been recognized as one of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers by Newsweek for 2025.

The annual list, now in its sixth edition, awards the top 300 inpatient physical rehabilitation facilities in the U.S. Each center was assigned a score based on quality metrics, accreditation data, a national survey of industry experts and Google reviews from patients.

This is the second consecutive year that St. Vincent’s Southside is ranked. The unit first opened in July 2022.

“Every honor we receive is only possible because of our commitment to providing high quality care for our patients,” said Kevin Rinks, President and CEO of St. Vincent’s Southside. “Our inpatient rehabilitation facility continues to maintain its reputation as one of the premier centers in the country and we look forward to continuing to provide compassionate care tailored for every patient on an individual basis.”

St. Vincent’s Southside delivers inpatient rehabilitation care for serious illnesses or traumatic injuries. It brings together the expertise of many health professionals with advanced rehabilitation training, always remembering that the most important team members are patients and their families.

Patients are connected to specialized rehabilitation care for the following conditions:

  • Stroke
  • Brain injury
  • Spinal cord dysfunction or injury
  • Amputation and limb impairment
  • Orthopedic injuries, hip fractures or post-surgical repair
