Rehabilitation hospitals are an integral component of the hospital infrastructure serving the needs of the more than 62 million Americans having Medicare Part A insurance coverage.  More than 6,200 hospitals of all types, with over 927,300 beds in total, participated in the Medicare program as of the calendar year 2020.  Accounting for about 5% of those hospitals and 2.1% of those hospital beds were rehabilitation hospitals.

In the calendar year 2020, the six-state New England region of the U.S. was home to 11 rehabilitation hospitals, with more than 1,100 beds, that participated in the Medicare program.  While seemingly small in number, the rehabilitation hospital bed count in the region makes New England Medicare enrollees modestly well-served for rehabilitation hospital care in comparison to other regions of the country.  Home to 4.9% of the nation's Medicare Part A enrollees, New England holds roughly 5.7% of the program's rehabilitation hospital beds.  Here is a state-level look at Medicare rehabilitation hospital beds in New England:
