EN | Our 5th Co-Design session here in Initao, Misamis Oriental helped establish a framework for developing resources tailored to the community. In collaboration with stroke survivors, carers, and healthcare professionals, we not only identified their needs but also determined ways to amplify their voices and stories.

BISAYA | Ang among ika-lima nga Co-Design session dinhi sa Initao, Misamis Oriental mitabang sa paghimo og framework para sa pag-develop sa mga resources nga angay sa komunidad. Kauban ang mga stroke survivors, carers, ug healthcare professionals, dili lang namo naila ang ilang mga panginahanglan, apan nakapahimutang usab kami og mga paagi aron mapa-kusog ang ilang tingog ug mga istorya.

Ang RHU Initao team nagpahigayon og PICT (Provider-Initiated Counseling and Testing) alang sa mga Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) sa Provincial Jail Initao atong October 10, 2025. Kini nga aktibidad nagtinguha nga mahatagan og hustong HIV education, counseling, ug testing aron mapalambo ang kahibalo ug kahimsog sa matag usa. Importante nga bisan asa nga lugar, ang kahimsog ug kahibalo kabahin gihapon sa ilang katungod.

Mainiton nga among nadawat ang kooperasyon ug partisipasyon sa mga PDL nga andam maminaw ug motabang sa kalihokan. Dako kini’g tabang sa pagprotekta sa ilang kaugalingon ug sa uban.

Dako among pasalamat sa Provincial Jail Management ug sa tanang PDL sa ilang maayong pagdawat ug suporta.

Purok Kalusugan sa Sitio Mahayag, Sinalac, Initao, Misamis Oriental
October 9, 2025

Dili babag ang kalayo ug kalisod sa dalan alang sa serbisyo! 💪 Ang RHU Initao team mi-adto gyud sa pinakalas nga sitio sa Sinalac, Sitio Mahayag, aron dad-on ang Purok Kalusugan ngadto sa mga residente nga layo sa sentro.

Dako kaayo among kalipay nga bisan sa kakapoy ug kainit, mainiton gihapon ang pagdawat sa mga lumulupyo. Nakahatag kami ug health education, Philhealth profiling, ug na-blood sugar test. Kini nga kalihokan nagpahinumdom nga ang serbisyo sa katawhan dili lang kutob sa lugar nga sayon duolon, apan labaw pa sa tanan sa mga lugar nga mas nanginahanglan atensyon ug paglaum.

Salamat sa suporta sa Barangay Sinalac officials ug sa tanang nitabang sa kalihokan. Ang among pagpaningkamot usa ka paalaala nga bisan unsa pa ka lisod ang agianan, basta para sa kahimsog sa katawhan sa Initao, padayon ra gihapon ang serbisyo!

Tulay Co-Design Session 3 was a meaningful step forward as we gathered once again to build stronger connections for the community. This session focused on collaboration, creativity, and collective vision—bringing together different voices to ensure the program truly serves its purpose. Everyone’s insights played a vital role in shaping a plan that is both inclusive and impactful.

One of the highlights of this session was the development of strategies on how to spread awareness and share information about the Tulay program. From brainstorming communication channels to crafting relatable messages, the group worked on practical yet innovative ways to reach more people. The energy and passion in the room showed how much each participant values the importance of this initiative.

As we move forward, we carry with us the commitment to make Tulay not just a program, but a bridge that connects opportunities, hope, and empowerment.

Launching of Ultrasound Machine Service
August 12, 2025

A big leap for healthcare in Initao! We proudly launched our Ultrasound Services at the Super Health Center in Kamelon, made possible with the support of Municipal Mayor Mercy Grace Acain, our hardworking SB Members, barangay officials, our dedicated MHO Dra. Sarah Jane Lagamon and DTTB Dr. Aaron Paolo Roa, together with RHU Initao. This milestone brings essential diagnostic services closer to our people, saving time, effort, and expenses.

As of the moment, we cater basic ultrasound services such as pregnant mothers for prenatal care, patients with abdominal and thyroid concerns for proper monitoring and early detection. To avail this service, simply visit your Barangay Health Center for a check-up. Patients will be scheduled by doctors only through referrals from their Barangay Health Centers. This is to ensure proper assessment before your ultrasound appointment.

With this, we hope more of you can take a proactive step in looking after your health — because sometimes, the answers we need are just one scan away. 🫰🏻

TULAY Co-Session Design 2
July 24, 2025

We, together with TULAY Project, held another meaningful TULAY Co-Session for Post-Stroke Patients, bringing together survivors, caregivers, and health staff for a day of connection and empowerment. The session included group activities and open discussions focused on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of stroke recovery, reminding each participant that healing is not a solo journey.

Beyond the support circles, we also worked together in creating strategies for digital media outreach, brainstorming how to spread awareness about the TULAY Program to more stroke survivors and families. From crafting messages to identifying platforms, the group actively contributed ideas to help extend our reach, especially to those who may still feel alone in their recovery.

This session was more than just a gathering, it was a reminder that rebuilding lives happens not just in clinics, but in conversations, collaboration, and shared purpose. Each voice matters. Each story helps build the bridge.

Philhealth Profiling and Registration
for Senior Citizen

From June to mid-July 2025, the RHU Initao successfully rolled out PhilHealth Profiling and Registration for Senior Citizens across all 16 barangays of Initao. This effort was designed to ensure that every eligible senior is accounted for and properly registered—paving the way for easier access to healthcare services and PhilHealth benefits when they need it most.

With the help of barangay officials and our dedicated health staff, we reached out to elderly residents in both coastal and upland areas, assisting them in verifying their membership, updating their information, and answering questions about their coverage. It was more than just data collection—it was about strengthening their connection to health support systems they rightfully deserve.

To all our lolos and lolas: we don’t just want you covered—we want you seen, heard, and taken care of.

Food Handlers Class
August 1, 2025

RHU Initao conducted a Food Handlers Class attended by 62 food handlers from various barangays. The training aimed to equip participants with essential knowledge on proper food preparation, storage, and hygiene practices to ensure the safety of the food they serve in their communities.

During the session, participants learned about foodborne illnesses, personal hygiene, sanitary food handling, and local health regulations. This initiative is part of our commitment to protect public health by empowering local food vendors, cooks, food handlers and even business owners. We imparted the right tools and information to keep their food clean and safe for everyone.

We commend all 62 participants for their active involvement and dedication to improving food safety standards.
