MADISON, NJ – AUGUST 2025 – Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute has been awarded on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025 and ranked first in the Northeast Region.

Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute is a two-story, 38-bed rehabilitation hospital located in Madison, NJ, built from the ground up by Atlantic Health, and is a joint venture between Atlantic Health and Lifepoint Health.

We meet patients at some of the most difficult crossroads in their lives and know the impact that patient-centered treatment can have on their recovery journeys.”
The America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025 ranking recognizes the leading physical rehabilitation facilities in the U.S. The 25 states with the most facilities according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) were ranked individually. The facilities from the remaining states were grouped into 4 regions: Northeast, Midwest, West, and South.
The list is based on four data pillars:
- Quality Metric: Data for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
- National Online Survey: An online survey among experts with knowledge of physical rehabilitation centers (physicians, physiotherapists, doctors, clinic managers, and other health care professionals) was conducted in cooperation with Newsweek.
- Accreditation: Data on physical rehabilitation centers provided by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC).
- Google Reviews: Reviews from Google were included as a proxy for patient satisfaction.
Based on the study results, Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute is honored to be recognized on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025.
