Whittier Health Network

At Whittier Health Network, we have been providing comprehensive rehabilitation services since 1982. We take great pride in our commitment to total patient care, and our acute rehab and transitional care facilities help thousands of patients return home after injury or illness each year. Our skilled nursing facilities, located throughout Massachusetts, offer individualized healthcare and family values, opening the doorways to functional and fulfilling lifestyles. Our mission is to provide a continuum of high-quality, comprehensive medical care services to all of our patients and residents in a warm, compassionate, caring, "family" care setting.
