Occupational Therapist – Inpatient Join a team where
continuity of care isn’t just a goal—it’s how we work. At Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital’s Inpatient Department, we’re building something special: a high-performing, close-knit therapy team that puts patients first and supports one another every step of the way.
Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital is a small community hospital that does big things to help people. Our two hospital units specialize in caring for medically complex patients with a similar acuity to a medical surgical or telemetry unit. With our population typically staying for 2-3 weeks, caregivers see the same patients make progress over time.
