Jess, RN @ Whittier Westborough
“There is such a misconception about Rehab Hospitals,” Jess says, “These patients have challenging and complex medical conditions. Many come to us right out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and require specialized and intricate care. We are trained to deliver advanced bedside procedures.”
Amber, RN @ Whittier Westborough
“Everyone works together as a tight-knit interdisciplinary team.” The multiple therapy groups, respiratory team, wound care, and nursing work cohesively and respectfully to help each patient reach their goals. You will not find this level of bedside nursing in a large acute care hospital.”
