MossRehab Again Named Among “America’s Best Hospitals”
Elkins Park, PA, July 16, 2007 -- For the fourteenth year, MossRehab of the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, has been recognized as one of the nation’s
leading rehabilitation facilities in the yearly U.S. News & World Report survey of “America’s Best Hospitals.”
“We are honored that MossRehab is consistently recognized as one of the leading rehabilitation facilities in the country,”
said Ruth Lefton, Chief Operating Officer, MossRehab. “The recognition affirms our commitment to serving people with temporary or permanent
disabilities. And it is a tribute to the dedication and expertise of our physicians, and clinical and research staff who
are dedicated to helping patients achieve their highest possible level of independence. It also recognizes the role of the
Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute in developing new knowledge that advances the state of rehabilitation care. ”
MossRehab offers a wide range of specialized services, including comprehensive programs for brain and spinal cord injury,
stroke, amputation and orthopaedic conditions. In addition, MossRehab is one of only a few rehabilitation hospitals in the
nation to be designated by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research as a Model System of Care for
traumatic brain injury, and one of the few to have an internationally known research institute dedicated to the study of cognitive
and mobility problems and their rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation medicine was one of five out of the 16 medical specialties ranked whose outcome was based solely on reputation.
The survey, conducted by RTI International in Triangle Park, North Carolina, involved a sampling of board certified physicians
randomly selected from the American Medical Association’s database. The physicians were asked to list up to five hospitals
they believe to be top in each specialty, without considering cost or location.

Monday, July 16th.
