𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 108𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Region II Trauma and Medical Center recently celebrated its 108th Anniversary through a meaningful two-day program that honored its rich history, dedicated workforce and continued commitment to quality health care. The celebration opened with an ecumenical service, bringing together staff and stakeholders in thanksgiving, followed by the blessing of the newly installed radiologic equipment, symbolizing the hospital’s ongoing efforts to improve diagnostic services and deliver better care to patients.

Highlighting the celebration was the Araw ng Pagpupugay on the second day. It served as a heartfelt tribute to the people behind the institution’s enduring legacy. In his welcome remarks, Dr. Ray P. Suanding, Medical Center Chief II, paid tribute to the hospital’s past leaders, recognizing their vision and efforts in laying a strong foundation for the institution’s current success. He emphasized that today’s achievements are built on the dedication and foresight of those who came before. Employees who have served the hospital for more than ten years were then recognized through service awards, honoring their loyalty, hard work, and invaluable contributions over the years.

The event also highlighted innovation, as select individuals were honored with the MCC Choice Award for introducing meaningful improvements and forward-thinking initiatives within the hospital. A posthumous award was also conferred upon the late Dr. Abraham Doniego, a dedicated physician of the Family and Community Medicine Department.

The celebration was graced by Congressman Atty. Timothy Cayton, who shared a personal connection to the hospital, recalling that he was born there. In his message, he commended the unwavering dedication of the hospital staff and acknowledged the vital services they have provided to the community through the years. He also expressed his commitment to continue supporting the hospital in its mission to make health care more accessible and of higher quality.

More than a celebration, the anniversary served as a reaffirmation of the hospital’s mission. It was not merely an afternoon of glamour, but a moment to reflect, honor service, and strengthen the collective commitment to R2TMC and its goals.

As the hospital moves forward, all staff are encouraged to continue striving for excellence, embrace innovation, and work together to achieve a future where compassionate, accessible, and high-quality health care remain at the heart of service.

Region II Trauma and Medical Center (R2TMC) proudly stands among the two selected hospitals in Luzon, recognized by the Department of Health as a host for the National Women’s Month Celebration this March 2026, implementing a hospital-based service delivery activity entitled “DOH Kalingang Pangkalusugan para sa Kababaihan" with the aim to empower women and improve access to women’s health services.

Throughout the month, R2TMC led a series of meaningful and engaging activities: from “Purple Wednesdays,” uniting staff in solidarity through color, to “Limang Katanungan para sa Kababaihan,” weekly initiatives fostering awareness on women’s health through propaganda and interactive learning.

The observance of National Buntis Day, last March 10, highlighted the importance of maternal care through comprehensive programs, including lectures, free medical services, and community engagement. Extending its reach, the Buntis Congress, held in partnership with Lt. Tidang Memorial Hospital, brought essential healthcare services and education directly to women in Kayapa held March 12.

On March 26, with the aim of promoting wellness beyond clinical spaces, a Fun Run and Zumba event energized participants from all walks of life, reinforcing the value of active and healthy living.

The culmination of the celebration took place on March 31 at Nueva Vizcaya State University, in collaboration with key partner institutions namely, the Nueva Vizcaya State University-Bayombong (NVSU), Department of Health - Center for Health Development (DOH-CHD), Provincial Department of Health (PDOH), Provincial Integrated Health Office (PIHO), Human Resources for Health (HRH), and the Philippine National Police- Women and their Children’s Protection Desk (PNP-WCPD). The program featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting and opening of service booths, alongside an inspiring Women Leaders Forum: PEP Talks and Dialogue.

Distinguished leaders who shared their expertise and inspiring messages included Dr. Eva Marie Codamon-Dugyon (President, Ifugao State University), Dr. Cristina R. Salvosa (Vice President for Administration and Finance, Nueva Vizcaya State University), Ms. Ruth R. Padilla (Former Provincial Governor), and Dr. Lucena Laliray P. Caldito (Chief of Hospital, Kasibu Municipal Hospital). A special message was also delivered by Dr. Pretchelle Tolentino, Assistant Regional Director of the Cagayan Valley Center for Health Development.

Simultaneously, a wide range of health service booths provided accessible care, from reproductive health and cancer screening to mental health support, adolescent care, and integrative medicine. These efforts were further strengthened by the distribution of adolescent and hygiene kits sponsored by the Provincial Department of Health, with additional support from R2TMC.

Through these initiatives, R2TMC reaffirms its dedication to women empowerment, dahil 𝙎𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙨, 𝘽𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙩 𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖..
