: Meet Anita, cardiac rehabilitation exercise specialist in the cardiology department at PIH Health Whittier Hospital. Anita has been part of the PIH Health family for 17 years.🏥
Working in rehabilitation, Anita spends long periods of time with patients, sometimes up to 3 months, seeing them make drastic improvements in recovery. She says, “I get to really know our patients because of the time they spend in the cardiac rehabilitation program, and they get to know me just the same.”
Anita feels blessed to have a career she feels passionate about and takes pride in the work she and the rest of the cardiac rehab team do. “Although our team is small, we’ve worked together for many years, and I’m truly grateful to work alongside such bright, like-minded individuals.”
Outside of the PIH Health Cardiac Rehabiltation Program, Anita loves being outdoors and being active especially if it involves scuba diving or getting to spot some sea turtles!
