Spaulding Rehabilitation Network

What Spaulding Rehabilitation Network does

Spaulding Rehabilitation Network is a private, nonprofit rehabilitation healthcare system headquartered in Charlestown, Massachusetts, operating as a member of the Mass General Brigham integrated delivery network. The organization runs 4 inpatient facilities, including the flagship Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Boston (ranked #2 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for 2025-2026), Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Cape Cod, Spaulding Hospital for Continuing Medical Care Cambridge (long-term acute care), and Spaulding Nursing and Therapy Center Brighton, alongside 25-30 outpatient centers spread across eastern Massachusetts. The network treated more than 61,000 patients in 2022 and generates approximately $38 million annually in funded research. Beyond its regional dominance, Spaulding is the only rehabilitation hospital in New England that has been nationally ranked every year since 1995, and it is the official teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, hosting the #1-rated PM&R residency program and Magnet-recognized nursing. The organization also holds a federal Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS) designation from NIDRR, placing it among only 16 such sites nationwide.

The network's service portfolio spans the full continuum of rehabilitation care: inpatient hospital rehabilitation, long-term acute care, skilled nursing, outpatient physical/occupational/speech therapy, telehealth, and condition-specific specialty programs for stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, amputee recovery, pediatrics, sports medicine, chronic pain, and complex medical rehabilitation. Technology underpins its clinical offerings, including a Motion Analysis Laboratory using biomechanics, wearable sensors, and robotics; advanced device-based therapies such as the Lokomat robotic gait trainer, Armeo/Amadeo arm trainers, Bioness and NeuroMove electrical stimulation systems, and VitalStim dysphagia therapy; pressure mapping for wheelchair seating; and hyperscan neuroimaging used in clinical trials. The Schoen Adams Research Institute, established through the 2016-2022 Campaign for Spaulding Research Institute, anchors an active research enterprise that pursues multi-center collaborations such as a Mayo Clinic-led deep learning model for TBI prognostication and a PharmAla-partnered MDMA-assisted therapy trial for fibromyalgia.

Spaulding earns revenue through billable healthcare services (inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, skilled nursing, long-term acute care) reimbursed by insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid based on medical necessity and care intensity, and supplements it through philanthropic donations channeled via its Development Office across principal/major giving, foundation giving, annual/leadership giving, and planned giving programs. Its go-to-market is sales- and referral-led: physician referrals, direct admissions, and acute-care hospital transfers feed the inpatient pipeline, while 25-30 community outpatient centers, telehealth visits, and YMCA co-locations drive outpatient volume. Adaptive-sports and therapeutic-recreation programs function as community engagement and brand-building channels. Customer concentration is diffuse by design, with the largest single-channel dependency being the Mass General Brigham acute-care referral system; payer mix is diversified across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid; and ancillary revenue streams include collaborative research grants (e.g., the BIRD Foundation) and donations.
