St. Mary’s Center for Rehabilitative Medicine has been awarded on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers (Inpatient Rehab) for the seventh time. This award is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list can be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

The America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2026 ranking awards the leading physical rehabilitation facilities in the U.S. The 25 states with the most facilities according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (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 Metrics: Data for Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) published by the U.S. Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
• Reputation 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.
• Quality Designations: 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.

“St. Mary’s is honored to be recognized again on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers,” said Stonish Pierce, President and CEO of Trinity Health Georgia, which includes St. Mary’s. “We strive to help as many patients as possible return home after a serious medical event. It’s an important part of our mission to serve together as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities.”

“This award recognizes our commitment to coming together as an interdisciplinary team to best meet the needs of our patients,” said Program Director Kimberly Collins. “The conditions our patients experience can be devastating. We are proud that more than 86% of those we care for are able to return home to be with their loved ones.”
