YOUNGSTOWN - Mercy Health has announced that its rehabilitation hospital has been recognized as one of the top 1% of 892 inpatient rehab facilities  (IRFs) in the country for cases discharged between October of 2024 and September of 2025.

The rankings were determined using Netsmart's program evaluation model (PEM), a case-mix adjusted and severity adjusted tool that provides facilities with a composite performance score and percentile ranking drawn from about 80% of all IRFs in the country.

"We are thrilled to see our team recognized for delivering exceptional, patient-centered care. Rankings like this evidence our team's success against ambitious data-driven benchmarks. Our team has shown once again that we are providing industry-leading care right here in Youngstown," said Mercy Health Rehab Hospital CEO Melessa Scattino.

This is the 18th year that these awards have been issued to inpatient rehabilitation facilities.
