DOWNEY - For the 22nd consecutive year, the rehabilitation department at Downey Regional Medical Center celebrated the holiday season with their annual Christmas party held for current and prior patients, along with their families and friends.Before the party began, patients had eagerly lined up in the main hall. Ambulatory patients stood in a line, which would ultimately wrap itself around the building. Patients with physical limitations received special attention from all involved. They were given assistance from organizers, receiving food and beverage while enjoying the events of the day. The Christmas party was fully supported by voluntary donations by the department's staff. For entertainment, Warren High School's choir sang a number of holiday carols to approximately 200 people as they ate their meals.
