2025 95th Founding Anniversary Celebration
95 Years of Purposeful Healing: One Name, One Mission, One Future
🎉✨ A Week of Purposeful Healing, Unity, and Transformation ✨🎉
From September 22–26, 2025, we made history together as we celebrated the 95th Founding Anniversary of Mindanao Central Sanitarium and officially launched Republic Act No. 12117, transforming our name to Zamboanga Regional Medical Center (ZRMC).
This was more than just a week of activities—it was a celebration of our past, our present, and our future. Each day reflected our theme, “95 Years of Purposeful Healing: One Name, One Mission, One Future” and lived out the Department of Health’s vision of a healthier, empowered nation.
🌟 Day 1: Opening Ceremony and Brand Launching
We opened with a solemn Flag Ceremony as an expression of respect and unity, followed by the unveiling of our new name and logo. The Historical Exhibit honored our agency’s past, the Food Park nourished our present, and the Research Proposal Exhibit gave a glimpse into the innovative future of ZRMC.
🏅 Day 2: Sports and Team Spirit Day
Our personnel came alive with energy and color as teams competed in sports and cheerdance competitions. It was a day of camaraderie, wellness, and joyful rivalry—reminding us that behind every excellent service is a team that stands together.
📚❤️ Day 3: Talent and Brains Day + Community Engagement
Innovation met service as the First ZRMC Trivia Quiz Bowl tested knowledge and the Research Proposal Exhibit continued to showcase ideas for the future. Most inspiring of all were the Community Health Lectures, where we reached beyond our walls to empower residents with vital health information—directly fulfilling DOH’s 8-Point Action Agenda, particularly Agenda #7: Empower People through Health Promotion and Education.
💆♀️ Day 4: Wellness Day
A day dedicated to caring for our own. Through Zumba, spa services, massages, and barbering, our personnel took time to recharge—because a healthy workforce means healthier patients and a stronger ZRMC family.
🌃🏆 Day 5: Gala Night and Awarding Ceremony
We closed the week with an elegant night of gratitude and recognition. We honored the invaluable contributions of our retirees, celebrated the loyalty of our employees, and awarded the victors of the week-long and month-long sports and cultural activities. It was a night of pride, joy, and renewed commitment to service excellence.
