Blessings of Faith, Hope, and Love: 5 Years with Pasig Doctors Medical Center
The last few years have been undeniably hard, especially for the health sector. Our health care workers struggled under the pandemic. But despite all hardships, Pasig Doctors Medical Center (PDMC) was among those who persisted and endured – all in the name of service to the community.
This is why in its fifth year, the Pasig Doctors Medical Center celebrates the ‘Blessings of Faith, Hope, and Love: For our Frontliners and our Community.’

The celebration opened yesterday, June 12, with a Holy Mass presided by the Most Reverend Mylo Hubert Vergara D.D.
And indeed, as a new chapter opens for PDMC, the new year was marked with blessings.
Bishop Mylo led the benediction of the hospital’s newly constructed areas. These are PDMC’s Molecular Laboratory, Lactation Room, TB DOTS, and lastly, their Drive Thru Lab.
These guarantee better service to the four extensive quadrants PDMC is serving. Vowing to serve Quezon City, Marikina, Rizal, and Pasig better.
