Whittier Hospital Medical Center sees early success in bid for accreditation Whittier Hospital Medical Center officials say they've completed a major hurdle in their bid to renew their status as a fully accredited facility, receiving a favorable review from a team of health-care experts who visited the hospital earlier this month.

That's why a team from TJC made an unannounced visit to the facility early this month and spent three days surveying every aspect of WHMC's services, from housekeeping to nursing care to physician credentials. In the end, said Chief Nursing Officer Phyllis Snyder, "The surveyors were very impressed. They liked our processes, they said our staff was very educated, and they said it was a very successful survey." "And we are very pleased," Snyder added. Click here to Read More..
