After 5 incredible years at Whittier Hospital’s Pediatric Subacute Unit, one of our most resilient young residents has officially graduated and is finally healthy enough to go home! During his time with us, he worked tirelessly each day alongside our dedicated multidisciplinary team to reach one milestone after another; learning to walk, eat, and even attend off-site schooling. His journey with us has been nothing but inspiring.

Now, this brave young soul is ready to embrace life outside hospital walls and start a new chapter at home reunited with his family again. Congratulations to our graduate! Your strength, determination, and bright spirit will always be part of the Whittier Hospital family.
