Voting for U.S. News & World Report Top Rehab Hospitals Ranking

The 2024-2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals for Rehabilitation voting is taking place February through March. These rankings are important, as many patients and their caregivers consider them when deciding where to receive rehabilitative care. 

At Sheltering Arms Institute, a collaboration with VCU Health, our dedicated team of expert physicians, nurses, therapists, clinical scientists, and researchers are discovering innovative ways to treat complex conditions and developing cutting-edge treatments to help patients achieve their best recovery.  

We are grateful for your role in celebrating the extraordinary care provided at Sheltering Arms Institute through your participation in U.S. News & World Report’s annual “Expert Opinion” reputational survey. 

Who Can Vote?

All board-certified physicians in the 15 adult and 10 pediatric ranked specialty areas are eligible to complete an online survey during the voting period. 

How to Vote Online

You must be registered on Doximity.com to participate in the online survey. You can participate in the survey as long as you register on Doximity.com prior to the end of the voting period. 

Registered users wishing to participate in the online survey should: 

  1. Watch for an email from Doximity about the annual member survey. Even if you do not see the email, if you are a registered Doximity user, you can still vote by logging in to Doximity.com with your username and password during the voting period, or follow the steps to reset your password. 
  2. Once logged in, look for a U.S. News graphic or button on the homepage and click on it. 
  3. The survey asks users to name the hospitals that provide the best care in your respective specialty, without consideration to location or cost. For adult specialists, the survey allows you to list up to five hospitals in your field. The order in which you list the hospitals does not matter. You are able to list as few as one hospital if you so choose. 

Please note: Sheltering Arms and VCU Health are listed under “Sheltering Arms Institute” on the survey since, as of June 2020, all beds from Sheltering Arms’ two former inpatient facilities (Hanover and South) and VCU Health’s former inpatient facility moved to Sheltering Arms Institute. 

If you have any difficulties completing the survey, contact usnews@doximity.com for assistance.
