Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

For 30 years, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood has held the #1 spot for rehabilitative hospitals ranked by US News & World Report 

Shirley Ryan AbilityLab earned the number one spot for rehabilitative hospitals in U.S. News & World Report's 2020 rankings. Formerly called the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, the organization moved into its 27-story Streeterville facility in 2017.

This 2020 U.S. News & World Report ranking marks the 30th consecutive year that the research hospital has topped the list.

"Although we have celebrated this honor every year for three decades, today’s recognition is no less sweet,” Dr. Joanne C. Smith, president and CEO of Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, said in a hospital news release. “It is a tribute to our entire team — and the ingenuity and pioneering spirit that have propelled us to revolutionize our field."

Note: This article has been amended to clarify that the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab was formerly known as the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and that it moved into its Streeterville facility in 2017.
