Even though we’re now 35 miles away, WHC still gives us that home-like feel. We have always felt really confident in the staff and we’re treated like family.”

“The nurses not only take care of our health needs, but they also give education and even some counseling. We get to know each other pretty well during rehab and it helps create a comfortable environment. I learned a lot about my diet and what I needed to do to be healthy.”
