St. Elizabeth Hospital, Incorporated, has been operational for almost fifty
years now. This is quite an accomplishment for a corporation with humble
beginnings. From being a 25-bed capacity health facility to a 181-bed, Center of
Quality tertiary hospital offering one of the best quality health services in the
region, we have certainly come a long way. But with all these improvements,
with all the recognition and achievements that the hospital has gained, still, our
future is not completely guaranteed. In fact, not one company, business, nor
corporation is, not without a clear strategic plan.

Itbecomes a
cliché for many people
that “There is greater
joy in giving”, especially
during the advent of
our modern times. But
for the management of
St. Elizabeth Hospital,
Incorporated, this
adage is appreciated
beyond its usual.
