GET THE BEST OUT OF LIFE!
A
LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 06
SALUBRIS MEDICAL CENTER THIS IS OUR STORY
‘You are to be their doctors – to bind their wounds, to heal their ills, to deliver their children and comfort them at death’s bed. Fight in the great cause of social justice and national amelioration but perform your appointed and consecrated tasks first.’ This, I believe, defines our role in Salubris.
T
rue excellence in health care means the best possible treatment that results in the most favorable outcome at the lowest possible cost to the patient. This is Value-Based Health Care – the bedrock of our hospital. This is what Salubris Medical Center aims to be – a center of excellence in health care for Nueva Vizcaya and its neighboring provinces. Salubris Medical Center is our Legacy Project. We are confident that this enduring legacy will outlive all of us who made it possible. This work is not man’s alone – God’s hand was always in this great task and we humbly bow our heads to Him in gratitude. We have erected an edifice that was made to serve our people especially those whose bodies and spirits are weighed down by illness and pain. We will strive to gain the confidence of our patients and our medical peers through the work that we do and hope that we will be the preferred medical facility for patient care in our community and in our province. The hospital now stands in the heart of Solano – proud and beautiful after years of difficult work and the unwavering commitment and dedication of so many. I like to think that this hospital stands as a symbol of what we, ordinary persons, can achieve if we put our hearts and minds into something truly bigger than ourselves. It was all in pursuit of a dream one thought would never come true but hoped for anyway. A wise and eminent Filipino doctor once advised some future physicians as they embarked on a medical career to serve their countrymen: ‘You are to be their doctors – to bind their wounds, to heal their ills, to deliver their children and comfort them at death’s bed. Fight in the great cause of social justice and national amelioration but perform your appointed and consecrated tasks first.’ This, I believe, defines our role in Salubris. I wish to thank the Board of Directors, the investors, the staff and employees of Salubris for keeping faith and being with us every step of the way in this CHALLENGE OF A LIFETIME. Your contributions to this great effort meant so much. As we continue to move forward, I hope you will all continue to join us in this journey. This is just the beginning and more has to be done if we are to be truly committed to the health of our people and our community. I am confident that THE BEST IS YET TO BE.
Welcome to Salubris Medical Center, where we empower you to get the best out of life!
Sincerely, Willie A. Damasco, MD Chairman of the Board, Salubris, Inc.
SALUBRIS MEDICAL CENTER is the brainchild and hospital arm of Salubris, Inc. a duly SEC-registered corporation founded by medical and business professionals who are the same pioneers of quality health care in the province.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Its founders believe that the right to health is fundamental and hope to contribute to the progressive, if not the immediate, realization of this right. Salubris intends to promote good health and wellbeing to everybody, in every stage of their lives, through the services that we will provide. Access to quality healthcare, therefore, is core and indispensable to good health. But access is denied to so many among us. Salubris is envisioned to be a modern community-based general hospital that will serve the health needs of Nueva Vizcaya and the neighboring provinces – Ifugao, Mountain Province, Quirino, and southern Isabela. People in these areas belong to indigenous communities and several still live in poverty. Salubris believes that the amazing benefits of 21st century medical care should not be confined to the wealthy but also to the women and men who live in these communities. Value-based health care is the bedrock of the hospital. It is a matter of achieving the best outcomes at the lowest cost possible. Cutting costs without cutting quality is at the heart of value-based health care. For patients, it means safe, appropriate, and effective health care with enduring results at a reasonable cost. For the hospital, it means employing evidence-based medicine and proven treatments and techniques that take into consideration the patient’s wishes and preferences.

THE MAKING History of Salubris Medical Center BY JUSTO VICENTE J. DAÑGUILAN, MD
Salubris Incorporated was born in a hurry. This is the story of its birth and its early growing years.
SOMETIME IN 2005, the hospital cooperative Medical Mission Group (MMG) Hospital and Health Services Cooperative-Nueva Vizcaya - founded in 1999 by Drs. Willie Damasco, Justo Dañguilan, Domingo Remigio, Junifen Gauuan, Jaime Venturina and Excelsior Valdez - had to look for a site on which to erect a new hospital building that would meet the requirements of the Department of Health (DOH). Dr. Dañguilan, who was Chairman of the MMG Board of Directors at the time, and some members spent months scouting
for a prospective site. Their attention turned to the 3-hectare riceland of the Borromeo Family fronting the Solano Municipal Hall. Dr. Dañguilan informed Dr. Damasco - the immediate past chair of the BOD - about this, and together they decided to explore the possibility of acquiring the property. Dr. Dañguilan broached the idea to Prof. Mauricia Borromeo, the eldest of the Borromeo siblings and cousin of Dr. Dañguilan, who was receptive to the idea and said she would relay the matter to her siblings. Of the six Borromeo children, only two
reside in the Philippines while the rest lived abroad. In October 2005, Prof. Borromeo informed Dr. Dañguilan that her siblings were willing to part with one hectare of the land on one condition - a hospital would be built on the site. All of the Borromeo siblings would be coming home to the Philippines for a reunion and to celebrate Christmas, which was two months away. Drs. Damasco and Dañguilan therefore had to hurry to form a group to purchase the property. SALUBRIS MEDICAL CENTER THIS IS OUR STORY

On November 15, 2005, an organizational meeting to form a new corporation was held at the Damasco Residence in Solano with 30 attendees. In this meeting, the first Board of Directors was elected. They were: Dr. Willie Damasco, Chairman; Dr. Jaime Venturina, Vice Chairman; Engr. Olivia Valle, Secretary; Dr. Julieta Cariaga-Uy, Treasurer; Dr. Marilyn Padre, Asst. Treasurer; Mr. Albino Francisco DaĂąguilan, Auditor; and Dr. Ruben Sinfuego, Assistant Auditor. It was decided to name the corporation SALUBRIS, INC. - Latin for 'health and wellness.' Salubris, Inc. started with 34 incorporators and an authorized capital stock of PhP 5 Million. With the new corporation organized, it was ready to purchase the Borromeo property. After a delay because of the repeat survey of the property due to some objections by tenants in the initial survey, this was completed in July 31, 2006 with the signing of the Deed of Absolute Sale.

November 22, 2010 Acceptance of Joint Venture proposal by MMG through then Chair, Dr. Selina Rupisan (subject for approval by the MMG General Assembly).
March 19, 2007 Annual Stockholders' Meeting It was decided here to partner with MMG in a Joint Venture Undertaking, followed by a Letter of Intent sent to MMG for such. February 17, 2011 First meeting between MMG & Salubris panels: It was decided that MMG would lead the formation of a new corporation which Salubris would eventually join.
February 27, 2012 - Second meeting between MMG & Salubris panels: It was proposed to call the proposed new corporation Salubris-MMG Inc. It was decided to have the assets of both entities valuated by a professional appraiser. Both parties prepared a Memorandum of Agreement on the joint venture/ merger, which resulted to a stalemate after several meetings. June 4, 2012 - Sent Letter to MMG from Salubris stating that it was no longer interested in pursuing the joint venture and gave notice that it would go ahead with its plan of constructing a hospital. Salubris Stockholders' Meeting with Dr. Da単guilan's son, Mr. Deogracias Victor Da単guilan (DVMD) who was finishing his Master's degree in MBA-Health at the Ateneo de Manila University. DVMD accepted the task of making inquiries with the DOH and completing the preliminary requirements. Submission of Application to the Department of Health (DOH) - Regional Office for a Certificate of Need (CON) for a 50-bed hospital, which was a pre-requisite for the Permit to Construct (PTC). September 5, 2012 - Received letter from DOH Regional Office stating disapproval of the petition for a CON "for failure to meet the criteria on travel time and integration with the Provincial Hospital Development Plan." They however recommended to file an appeal at the Office at the Secretary for Health for reconsideration, which Salubris did. Late 2012 - Visit of two groups of Salubris Incorporators to the Western Batangas Medical Center in Balayan, Batangas whose BOD Chair is Dr. Jose Emerson Afable, DVMD's classmate in Ateneo. The hospital was designed by the Redentor D. Ragojos Architectural Design group based in Quezon City. After the visits, Salubris established contact with the Ragojos group. September 8, 2012 - The Ragojos group, through Arch. Edwin Remular, made their initial presentation to Salubris at the old Kaboodle Grill in Solano. A group comprising Drs. Willie Damasco, Excelsior Valdez, Arch. Rogelio Tiongson, Engr. Rico Tiongson and DVMD was formed to negotiate with the Ragojos group on estimates and terms. March 2013 - Then Health Secretary Enrique Ona issued AO 2006-0004-C allowing hospitals with a bed capacity of 100 or higher to be granted a PTC even without a CON. Salubris then decided to proceed with the plan of a 100-bed hospital instead of the proposed 50-bed hospital. April 20, 2013 - Salubris convened its 1st Investors Conference at the 24/7 Resort in Solano to market the project and to raise funds.
