SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union (PIA) — A multi-million medical center that will soon rise along Pennsylvania Avenue, Barangay Madayegdeg in this city is expected to boost the delivery of health care services to residents of La Union.
Dr. Cecille Faye Lasam-Perdigon, founding member of the hospital, said that the administration of St. Jude Thaddeus Medical Center is expected to be completed by 2026.
“Inaasahan po naming magsisimula ang pagpapatayo ng ospital on the last quarter of 2023 hanggang first quarter ng 2024 at maitatayo ito pagkatapos ng 2 hanggang 3 taon,” Lasam-Perdigon said in an interview.
She reiterated that the seven floors with a capacity of 103 beds will be completed in 2026.
The soon to rise St. Jude Medical Center is a member of Allied Care Experts (ACE) Group of Hospitals spearheaded by Dr. Amado Manuel Enriquez, Jr.
The seven-storey medical institution will provide vital health services with clinical health facilities particularly outpatient department, laboratory, among others.
“St. Jude Medical Center also features modern ICU, PICU, and NICU Complexes, modern operating and delivery room complex, and laboratory and diagnostic centers, at marami pang iba,” said Dr. Lasam-Perdigon.
The establishment of the health facility would help decongest other health facilities as it will augment other medical hospitals in the province.
"Sa bawat pamilyang nangangailangan ng de-kalidad na serbisyong medikal at sa oras ng kagipitan, nawa’y maging gabay at sandalan ng inyong kalusugan ang aning handog na serbisyo,” she explained.
The soon to rise medical center-funded project, which is a member of Allied Care Experts (ACE) Group of Hospitals spearheaded by Dr. Amado Manuel Enriquez, Jr., is under the health facility enhancement program with the other components, particularly the maintenance operation and staffing.
The ACE group of hospitals has at least 30 hospitals nationwide. (JCR/MJTAB/KJCR, PIA La Union)
