JDMH CELEBRATES 70TH ANNIVERSARY: OPENS CENTER FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH

Last August 1, 2018 marks another milestone for JDMH as it celebrates its 70th Anniversary — who has been championing Mother Care since 1948!

A LITTLE BIT OF JDMH HISTORY

Dr. Jesus C. Delgado Memorial Hospital which was then "The Delgado Clinic" was founded on August 1, 1948, by Dr. Jesus C. Delgado and his wife, Mrs. Carmen Bayot-Delgado. They put up the clinic with a vision of enhancing the quality of life through excellent personalized patient care. With this vision, the clinic continues to grow during the 1960's through the help of their daughter Dr. Mary Rose Delgado-Abad and her husband, Dr. Rainerio S. Abad, an OB-GYNE specialist and Oncologist.

As it continues to meet the growing health care needs of the community with complete facilities as a tertiary hospital, it remains committed to rendering high-quality service.

In a press briefing last July 31, 2018

It was in the 80' when the reigns then of the medical facility were transferred to its former President and Administrator, Ma. Violeta Delgado-Cojuangco. This transition happened soon after the demise of both Dr. & Mrs. Jesus C. Delgado.

By the year 1988, in the memory of the late founder — the clinic was renamed, Dr. Jesus C. Delgado Memorial Hospital (JDMH).

JDMH DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE YEARS:

Last year 2017, Metro Pacific Group of Hospitals or (MPIC) led by Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan acquired the Delgado Clinic Inc. (DCI). This acquisition enabled the 70-bed tertiary hospital to renovate its facilities, upgrade its medical equipment and expand its capacity to serve its surrounding communities.
