Sheltering Arms Institute named a top-20 rehabilitation hospital nationally

The Sheltering Arms Institute was ranked the 19th Best Rehabilitation hospital in the country by U.S. News & World Report, an improvement from last year’s ranking of 29th.

The U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of the “50 Best Rehabilitation Hospitals” are based on quality of care, clinical outcomes, and physician opinion. Sheltering Arms Institute, located just over the Henrico County line in Goochland County near Short Pump, received top marks for the percentage of patients returning home following their rehabilitation stay and the number of patients treated for conditions such as strokes, spinal cord injuries, and neurological conditions.

The hospital also received recognition for its advanced technology and patient services.

“We strive to create the best possible rehabilitation programs and patient experience so each person can achieve their best outcomes,” said Alan Lombardo, CEO of Sheltering Arms Institute. “This recognition reflects the teamwork and dedication of our team members, volunteers, and donors; however, the greatest reward is serving others and seeing our patients make progress on their rehab journeys.”

Sheltering Arms Institute is a non-profit organization that supports and funds rehabilitation programs for patients with disabilities and conditions that impact their daily lives.
