Mitsubishi Motors Philippines and SSMC Group of Hospitals and Clinics conducted medical mission for Sitio Hemedez community in Sta. Rosa, Laguna

December 14, 2024 — Mitsubishi Philippines Corporation (MMPC), in partnership with its healthcare provider, SSMC Group of Hospitals and Clinic, recently conducted a medical mission in one of the underprivileged communities in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

The community, situated in Sitio Hemedez, Brgy. Malitlit, Santa Rosa, Laguna, consists of approximately 180 families or around 738 individuals, faces pressing challenges in accessing essential healthcare and medical services. Majority of the residents are industrial workers, laborers, and families employed in nearby factories, who also have economic constraints that limit their ability to afford proper healthcare.

MMPC’s medical mission aims to address some of these concerns by providing basic laboratory services, medical and dental consultations, and distribution of medicines, hygiene kits and food packs that would help improve the health and living conditions of the people in the community.

Several volunteers from MMPC and SSMC assisted the free medical mission. MMPC team was led by its Vice President for Safety, Health & Environment Department, Marfel Ancheta and Senior Manager for General Affairs Department, Cristine Jumamoy.

“Staying true to our tagline “Life Made Better”, MMPC remains dedicated in helping uplift the communities that face significant challenges. We continue to partner with local government and organizations for us to properly execute these kinds of efforts. This medical mission not only underscored MMPC's dedication to corporate social responsibility, but also highlighted the importance of community collaboration in creating lasting positive change,” said Marfel Ancheta, MMPC Vice President for Safety, Health & Environment Department.
