The RIC serves as one of the globe’s leading hospital and research enterprises for physical medicine and rehabilitation. “US News & World Report” has named RIC as the number one rehabilitation hospital in America every year dating back to 1991.
In June 2016, RIC announced that Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan had pledged a charitable investment to support AbilityLab, which is the RIC’s research hospital. Scheduled to open in March 2017, the hospital will be named the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in recognition of the donors of the record amount, which is undisclosed.
