MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital

What MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital does

MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital is a non-profit, 102-bed acute rehabilitation hospital established in 1986 in Washington, D.C., operating as a component of MedStar Health — the largest healthcare provider in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. region. The hospital is the largest acute rehabilitation facility in the DMV area, delivering a continuum of inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment programs across eight specialty lines: amputation, brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, orthopedic, pediatric, cancer, and cardiac rehabilitation. In addition to its main inpatient facility at 102 Irving St. NW, MedStar NRH operates an outpatient network of more than 50 locations across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia, and offers telehealth services through the MedStar eVisit platform. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals, insurance networks, and direct self-referral.

The hospital's clinical capabilities are anchored by a research and educational partnership with Georgetown University School of Medicine, which provides access to cutting-edge neurorehabilitation research and supports residency and fellowship programs in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Brain Injury Medicine, Cancer Rehabilitation, and Sports Medicine. Its founding credo, "Adding Life to Years®," reflects the mission of restoring maximum function and independence rather than solely extending life. The hospital has applied to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for Magnet designation, a credential signaling nursing excellence. As part of MedStar Health, MedStar NRH generates revenue through patient care services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and other payers under a professional services model; specific pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed at the hospital level and are consolidated within the parent system's revenue cycle.
