Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital is a Roman Catholic rehabilitation hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.A.
[edit] History
In 1958, the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton, South Dakota founded Madonna. The facility began early to earn its reputation for excellence, first as a geriatric facility and later as a physical medicine and rehabilitation center. In 1966, Madonna received the nation's first Medicare certification and began to offer rehabilitation services.Fulwider, John.

The hospital was first accredited by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission in 1982 and has received three-year accreditations continuously since then. The most recent was given with "no recommendations" for improvement in all six certified programs, which is virtually unheard of in the industry.[1]
