About Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is the global leader in physical medicine and rehabilitation for adults and children with the most severe, complex conditions — from traumatic brain and spinal cord injury to stroke, amputation and cancer-related impairment. Founded in 1953, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab has been designated the “No. 1 Rehabilitation Hospital in America” by U.S. News & World Report every year since 1991.
Upon opening a $550 million, 1.2-million-square-foot facility in 2017, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab became the first-ever “translational” research rehabilitation hospital in which clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists work together in the same space, surrounding patients, discovering new approaches and applying (or “translating”) research in real time. This unique model enables patients to have access to the brightest minds, the latest research and the best opportunity for recovery.
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more information, go to www.sralab.org.
