U.S. News & World Report Names REHAB Hospital of the Pacific Among Best Hospitals for 2026-2027

Thursday, November 5, 2026

REHAB Hospital of the Pacific (REHAB) has been named by the U.S. News & World Report a 2026-2027 Best Hospital.

REHAB has been nationally recognized as a High Performing Rehabilitation Hospital by U.S News and World Report and is amongst the top 8 percent of the 1,131 hospitals evaluated for rehabilitation services. “This recognition is a direct reflection of our amazing, dedicated team,” said Stephanie Nadolny, President and Chief Executive Officer of REHAB. “It is a profound privilege to provide the highest level of care to the people of Hawaii and the greater Pacific, and we remain deeply committed to supporting the people we serve throughout their recovery journey.”

In May 2026, REHAB officially launched its new Stroke Center of Excellence, providing an expert interdisciplinary team and therapy tailored specifically to the complex challenges of stroke recovery.

U.S. News evaluated nearly 4,500 hospitals across 14 adult specialties and 23 procedures and conditions; only 16% of evaluated hospitals earned a Best Hospitals designation.

“A hospital named among the U.S. News Best Hospitals has demonstrated its commitment to high-quality care, especially in achieving successful outcomes for patients,” said U.S. News’ Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis Ben Harder. “A Best Hospitals recognition reflects consistent top-tier medical care to its community.”

The U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings serve as a starting point for patients and families, who should consult with their personal physicians when making specific healthcare decisions.

To determine the Best Hospitals, U.S. News analyzed each hospital’s performance based on objective measures such as risk-adjusted mortality rates, preventable complications and patient experience. The Best Hospitals Specialty rankings methodology and Procedures & Conditions ratings methodology measure patient outcomes using data from over 800 million records of patient care.
