About us
Our Roots
What first inspired Wildewood Health Founder Krista Whittaker’s health care journey was the special bond she shared with her Grannies. The major role these two quick-witted, intelligent and whole-hearted women played in Krista’s life is what spurred her desire to practice in senior’s health to help others improve their quality of life through independent living. It’s this genuine desire to help people that Wildewood Health was founded on, its name a combination of her two grandmothers’ maiden names. With recognition as Nanaimo’s #1 community-voted rehabilitation clinic in 2023, we’d say she did them proud.
Our Promise
We vow to grow with our community, keeping up with the population’s changing health care needs through programs and services that are continually refined. We promise to always bring our best to the table, combining the latest research with cutting-edge assessment systems and state-of-the-art equipment for an unparalleled client experience. Our final guarantee? To bring the fun—making our journey together all the more rewarding.
