Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital is pleased to announce that we have received Deficiency Free Joint Commission Recertification surveys for both the inpatient Pulmonary Program and the outpatient Stroke Day Rehab Program, and that we are now certified for two more years.

The Joint Commission’s Disease Specific Care Certification Program provides an evaluation of a clinical program that delivers care to a defined patient population.  By choosing to become certified, Whittier has shown their commitment to excellence in the areas of Pulmonary and Stroke Rehabilitation and medical care.

Bob Iannaco, Whittier Bradford Administrator said, “I am extremely proud of the results of the Joint Commission certification survey for both our Pulmonary and Stroke programs.  The survey shows our commitment to providing outstanding care in both of these patient populations as well as to the certification process.

Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in Bradford, MA is owned and operated by Whittier Health Network, and is run by Administrator Robert Iannaco and Medical Director Dr. Paul Liguori.
