• Craig Hospital: Nationally recognized specialty rehabilitation hospital in Denver, Colorado focused on spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. Highly comparable specialty programs (brain injury, spinal cord) and acute inpatient rehab intensity to NRHN's certified programs, though operates as a single-site specialty hospital.
• Shepherd Center: Specialty rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta, Georgia focused on spinal cord injury, brain injury, and complex medical rehabilitation. Comparable high-acuity rehabilitation model and disease-specific certifications (similar to NRHN's Joint Commission disease-specific certifications in stroke, brain injury, and amputee).
• Burke Rehabilitation Hospital: Acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital in White Plains, NY operated as part of Montefiore Health System, offering stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and orthopedic rehabilitation. Comparable specialty mix and acute rehab hospital model to NRHN, though primarily serves the Hudson Valley/New York metro rather than New England.
• Allied Services Integrated Health System: Non-profit integrated health system in Northeastern Pennsylvania operating inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and a large outpatient therapy network. Comparable multi-site acute inpatient rehab + outpatient PT/OT/SLP model to NRHN's four-hospital and 25+ clinic footprint.
• Siskin Rehabilitation Hospital: Tennessee-based acute inpatient rehabilitation hospital providing stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and orthopedic rehabilitation with outpatient services.

Broad incumbents

• Encompass Health: Largest owner and operator of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, with 160+ IRFs nationwide. Directly comparable to NRHN's acute inpatient rehab hospital model (stroke, brain injury, amputee, orthopedic), but operates at national scale with public-market capital and a broader home health segment.
• Select Medical Holdings: Operates specialty hospitals including inpatient rehabilitation and critical illness recovery hospitals, plus outpatient rehabilitation clinics across the US. Comparable to NRHN's combined inpatient hospital + outpatient clinic model, but at much larger national scale and with critical illness recovery as an additional specialty.

Regional players

• Spaulding Rehabilitation Network: Part of Mass General Brigham, operates inpatient rehab hospitals and outpatient clinics primarily in Massachusetts and the greater Boston/New England area. Closest regional head-to-head competitor to NRHN given overlapping New England footprint and similar acute inpatient rehab service lines.
