Sports fans are still basking in thrilling memories of the 2024 Paris Olympics, where athletes showcased breathtaking routines honed by years of relentless practice.

Although they may not reach Olympic heights, Sutter patients undergoing physical and rehabilitation therapy also know what it takes to reach personal victory — whether that’s a return to a beloved sport or successfully managing daily activities.

When you’re recovering strength and function, having top-tier physical medicine professionals by your side can make all the difference. This week, three Sutter facilities were once again recognized by Newsweek and Statista as among America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers for 2024 — and gained the top spot in the state.

Named among the best of the best in California are:

-   [Sutter’s California Pacific Medical Center – Davies Campus](https://www.sutterhealth.org/cpmc/services/physical-therapy-rehabilitation): No. 1
-   [Sutter’s Alta Bates Summit Medical Center – Summit Campus](https://www.sutterhealth.org/absmc/services/physical-therapy-rehabilitation): No. 8
-   [Sutter Rehabilitation Institute on the Sutter Roseville Medical Center campus](https://www.sutterhealth.org/srmc/services/physical-therapy-rehabilitation): No. 14

This year’s rankings honor only **300** centers out of more than 1,100 nationwide, highlighting exemplary inpatient rehabilitation centers based on quality of care, service, follow-up care, accommodations and amenities.

**Team Effort, Big Rewards**

Achieving or regaining skills takes persistence, sometimes long before ability kicks in. Like an Olympic coaching staff, Sutter physical therapists and inpatient rehab specialists help patients achieve their best, whether that’s as exciting as swinging a pickleball racquet or as mundane as doing laundry.

As personal coaches and trainers, Sutter’s multidisciplinary physical medicine staff customize education, hands-on techniques and exercises so patients can return to regular life with strength and confidence.

“Our primary goal is to prepare a patient and their support team for a safe return to their everyday life at the highest possible functional level,” says Elizabeth Whalen, manager of rehabilitation program administration at Sutter CPMC’s California Pacific Regional Rehabilitation Center. “Year after year and for decades, we’ve discharged more patients to the community than the national average, and over 90% of our patients are satisfied with their outcomes.”

Acute inpatient rehab remains a Sutter passion and specialty, Whalen adds. “We work with very complex patients who are recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries, organ transplant, cancer and other complex conditions,” she says. “Our outcomes are consistently higher than national numbers across all our specialty programs. I am so proud of our teams for these well-deserved recognitions.”
