Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals Earns U.S. News 'High Performing' Rating

Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report's 2026-2027 Best Hospitals edition as a “High Performing” hospital for rehabilitation, the highest distinction awarded in the publication's Best Hospitals Procedures & Conditions ratings. The recognition also places Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals' Lincoln Campus as the No. 1 rehabilitation hospital in Nebraska, with the Omaha Campus ranked No. 2 in Nebraska and No. 1 in the Omaha metro area.

Of the nearly 4,500 U.S. hospitals evaluated by U.S. News, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals is among the elite 16% of hospitals that earned a numerical ranking in a state, metro area and/or medical specialty. Fewer than half of the hospitals evaluated received a “High Performing” designation for the types of care assessed by U.S. News.

“At Madonna, our mission is to help people who have experienced life-changing traumas and illnesses to fully participate in their lives again,” Christopher Lee, Madonna’s vice president and chief operating officer, said. “This recognition from U.S. News & World Report reflects our commitment to providing world-class medical rehabilitation through nationally recognized clinical expertise, innovative technologies, leading-edge research and truly patient-centered care. Our talented and caring staff are honored to serve individuals and families throughout Nebraska and across the Midwest, empowering them to achieve their highest level of independence.”

The rehabilitation ratings evaluate hospital performance and outcomes for patients recovering from complex conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and severe burns.

“A ‘High Performing’ rating means that Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals outperformed a national threshold, giving families a reliable starting point as they choose the best place for care,” Ben Harder, U.S. News' managing editor and chief of health analysis, said.

Christopher Lee, Madonna’s vice president and chief operating officer, is available for interviews to discuss the U.S. News & World Report recognition, rehabilitation ratings and Madonna’s specialized rehabilitation care.
