“We are proud to offer a wide variety of rehabilitation services for adults and children. Our Rehabilitation Center has been treating individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, and other disabling neurological conditions since 1971,” said Paul E. Lorenz, CEO Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Hospitals & Clinics. “The experience gained over those four decades and the exceptional skills of a dedicated team of rehabilitation specialists has brought advanced treatment, leading-edge research and technology, superior patient outcomes, and renewed hope to more than 10,000 people.”
The annual Best Hospitals rankings and ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive quality care for challenging health conditions or elective procedures.
“This recognition reflects our team’s ability to integrate technology into the interdisciplinary care of our patients with brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and other conditions as they work towards transitioning home,” commented Dr. James Crew, Chair, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. “This is a tremendous honor and a real testament to the specialized care that each of our nurses, therapists, physicians, and other rehabilitation staff provide together during what is often a very difficult time in patients’ lives.”
For the 2022-2023 rankings and ratings, U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 hospitals across 15 specialties and 20 procedures and conditions. In the 15 specialties, 164 hospitals were ranked in at least one specialty. State and metro area rankings reflect the highest performing hospitals in the area across multiple areas of care.
U.S. News evaluated each hospital’s performance using a variety of measures such as survival rates, complication rates, patient experience and level of nursing care. The Best Hospitals methodology factors in data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, American Hospital Association, professional organizations, and medical specialists.
“The hospitals named among the best have extensive medical expertise and a history of delivering good outcomes,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “When patients and their medical professionals are considering their options for care, the rankings are designed to help them identify hospitals that are superior in the kind of care they may need.”
