Patient Success | Whittier Westborough
Phyllis made a triumphant return! ❤💪
Phyllis visited recently with her husband to see her case manager and update us on her progress since she recovered from a Pituitary Apoplexy. She also wanted to share her story and thank all of the therapists and CNAs who helped her during her nearly two-month stay at Whittier. Phyllis said she tells everyone about the excellent care she received while she was here!
