Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals has been named “Outstanding Business of the Year” by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. Madonna President and CEO Paul Dongilli Jr. recently accepted the 2023 Cornerstone Award on behalf of the organization during the chamber’s annual Celebrate Business Awards Luncheon on December 5. Each year, the event recognizes and celebrates visionary, community-driven businesses and individuals, along with their contributions who help make Lincoln a great city to live and work in.
“This honor is truly a reflection of the vision, leadership and hard work of our entire staff,” Dongilli said. “As we reflect on our 65 years of healing ministry beginning with the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton, South Dakota, we’re incredibly proud of our ongoing investment and commitment in providing world-class rehabilitation here in the Lincoln community, the state of Nebraska and the Midwest region.”
This latest achievement is in addition to other recent national honors, including being ranked as the No. 1 rehabilitation hospital in Nebraska according to data compiled by U.S. News & World Report and the fourth-largest ranking as a free-standing rehabilitation hospital by Modern Healthcare Magazine based on 2021 net patient revenues. In the past five years, Madonna has treated more than 12,000 patients from 45 states and 89 counties across Nebraska.
