Whittier Health Network is a family-owned post-acute healthcare organization serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Its network includes rehabilitation hospitals, transitional care units and skilled nursing or long-term care facilities.

Whittier's continuum is designed for patients recovering after illness, injury or surgery, distinguishing it from an acute general hospital system or residential senior-living operator alone.
