St. Elizabeth Hospital officially partners with the Department of Social Welfare and Development – Field Office Region 12, Barangay Rubber Farmers Cooperative, and Alabel Farmers Scientist Association, in collaboration with the Mahintana Foundation, Inc. Through this partnership, the farmers’ fresh produce will be supplied directly to the hospital, ensuring our patients enjoy meals that are healthy, fresh, and locally sourced. This collaboration contributes to the sustainability and economic empowerment of local farmers, while also promoting healthy and nutritious meals for our patients.
We are also proud to share that St. Elizabeth Hospital is the very first private organization to join the group in its ProPEACE PH launching, exemplifying the role of both public and private institutions in advancing community development that promotes opportunities, inclusion, and social justice.
