BAYOMBONG, NUEVA VIZCAYA — February 23, 2026 — Region II Trauma and Medical Center (R2TMC) through its Health Emergency and Disaster Managment Unit (HEDMU) convened a multi-agency scoping meeting today to strengthen and streamline patient ingress and egress to the hospital, ensuring safe and uninterrupted access for patients, ambulances, and emergency responders amid ongoing road works and the hospital’s normal day-to-day operations.

Held at the Medical Center Chief (MCC) Conference Room, the meeting gathered key stakeholders to align immediate and practical measures that will reduce delays, improve traffic flow, and protect pedestrians and motorists within and around the hospital premises while ensuring continuity of essential health services.

Key discussion points included mapping current patient and ambulance routes, identifying critical choke points, and agreeing on primary and alternate access routes. Stakeholders also discussed interim traffic management and safety measures, emergency access protocols for time-sensitive referrals and transfers, and a coordinated public information approach to guide the community on the safest ways to reach R2TMC.

The scoping meeting concluded with agreements on roles, responsibilities, and next steps, including coordination mechanisms for implementation and monitoring. Participants emphasized the shared priority of balancing ongoing infrastructure works with the hospital’s mandate to provide timely, life-saving services.

R2TMC extends its sincere gratitude to all partners who participated and committed support, including the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), Provincial Integrated Health Office (PIHO), Provincial Local Government Unit of Nueva Vizcaya, Local Government Unit of Bayombong, Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), as well as R2TMC’s internal units and committees.

R2TMC will issue follow-through advisories and coordination updates as the agreed actions are rolled out, and encourages the public to follow official announcements and traffic guidance to help ensure safe access to the medical center for everyone.

One Year of Healing in Motion
Ambulatory Surgery Unit Marks Its 1st Anniversary with a Mission of Care

On February 13, 2026, the Ambulatory Surgery Unit (ASU) of Region II Trauma and Medical Center celebrates its first anniversary not just with ceremony—but with service.

In true reflection of its mission, the ASU commemorates this milestone by conducting a Minor Surgical Mission, in collaboration with the Surgery and ENT Departments. With a goal of serving 20 patients on this day, the initiative embodies what the unit has stood for since day one: accessible, efficient, and compassionate surgical care.

Over the past year, the ASU has redefined outpatient surgery in the region—streamlining procedures, reducing hospital stays, and ensuring safe, high-quality care in a patient-centered environment. What once required prolonged admissions can now be done with precision and comfort, allowing patients to return home the very same day.

The anniversary program formally opened with a solemn prayer, grounding the celebration in gratitude and purpose. This was followed by an inspiring and heartfelt message from Head Nurse Joseph G. Gutierrez, Nurse III, who reflected on the unit’s humble beginnings and the unwavering dedication of the team specially with the guidance of our Unit Head Dr. Jonee V. Mabazza with commitment and emphasizing how collaboration and patient-centered innovation shaped the ASU into what it is today.

Messages of support and pride were also delivered by Chief Nurse Ma. Luisa D. Gomez, whose leadership strengthened the foundation of nursing excellence; by Dr. Tagumpay Maniquis, who highlighted the importance of surgical outreach; and by Medical Center Chief Dr. Ray Suanding, who recognized the collective effort behind the project—from planning and renovation to the successful launch and continuous operation of the unit.

By focusing on minor excisions under local anesthesia, the team maximizes safety while expanding service capacity—demonstrating how innovation and collaboration can directly impact community health.

As the Ambulatory Surgery Unit marks its first year, it does so with steady hands and open hearts—proving that milestones are best celebrated not by looking back, but by reaching forward.

With the continued support of partners, colleagues, and the community—from planning, renovating, and preparing, up to the full realization of this vision—this anniversary becomes more than a date. It becomes a testament to dedication, unity, and service.
