“WITH PRIDE, we can declare, ‘We have The Medical City in Clark – an internationally accredited center of excellence.’”
Thus, Clark Development Corp. president and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera’s encomium at TMC Clark’s 10th anniversary celebrations last January highlighted the facility’s crucial role in the freeport’s comprehensive development; its very presence an enhancement to attract investments both domestic and foreign.
The premier referral center in Northern and Central Luzon since its opening on Jan. 16, 2015, TMC Clark is now impressed upon the world too as the very face of healthcare in one of the Philippines’ premium investment havens and engines of economic growth.
Hospital care can’t get any more recuperative, indeed, rejuvenating with TMC Clark’s scale and scope of highly specialized services: Cardiovascular Center – pediatric and adult cardiology, neurovascular and peripheral vascular catheterization, and interventional radiology; Breast Center; Liver and Pancreas Center; Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery; Chemo-Infusion Unit; Pain Clinic, Center for Integrative Medicine; Genomics; Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Center; Diabetes and Nutrition Management Services Center; Occupational Health Center; and Wellness Center – all with state-of-the-art equipment.
And more came in 2024: TMC-Clark established the first Allergy and Immunology Center in Central Luzon, expanded its Hemodialysis Center from 6 to 14 chairs, and procured its second magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. It was also made an accredited facility of the Maritime Industry Authority.
With all these, plus a 103-bed capacity and staffed by 519 doctors – surgeons and specialists, 182 nurses, 143 allied health professionals, and 69 interns, no other medical facility north of Metro Manila can come anywhere close to TMC Clark.
Indeed, the globally renowned Joint Commission International (JCI) awarding TMC Clark its Gold Seal of Approval® in December 2024, the first-ever in the region.
JCI sets the gold standard in healthcare quality and safety, granting accreditation only to organizations that meet its rigorous benchmarks. Achieving it, therefore, affirms TMC Clark steadfast adherence to global best practices.
As Dr. Noelito M. Lacsamana, president and CEO of TMC Clark, enthused: “This accreditation represents our hospital’s dedication to providing safe, high-quality patient care, and reflects the collective effort of every team member who has worked tirelessly to raise the bar for healthcare in the region. We are shaping the future of healthcare in North and Central Luzon together.”
Then, at the Asia CEO Awards 2024, TMC Clark joined the Circle of Excellence Awardees of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Company of the Year.
Through the years, certifications of excellence have been heaped along TMC Clark’s way.
In addition to being ISO 9001-2015 certified, TMC Clark won the Gold Award in the Brand and Marketing Campaign category of the 2020 Asian Hospital Management Awards for its “A Safe Zone for All Patients” Campaign at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Earlier on in 2019, it received the Marketing Initiative of the Year Award for “Pink Walk: #BreastWalkEver” and the Primary Care of the Year Award for Client Management Program.
In the same year, TMC Clark received the distinction of being the only medical facility in Central Luzon accredited by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration for its Ka-Bayani Center offering pre-employment medical examination services for overseas Filipino workers and seafarers.
The distinction of excellence that distinguishes TMC Clark from all hospitals and any medical care facility north of Metro Manila is expressed in its brand philosophy, indeed, defined in its core value: “Where Patients are Partners.”
The traditional idea of the patient as a passive recipient of medical services upended to that of the patient as an active partner in his own health.
