Message

It gives me great pleasure and pride to greet and congratulate the staff and personnel of Bethany Hospital, on the occasion of its 85th Anniversary.

I can see no better expression of your thoughts and your deeds that can fit into this occasion than your theme: "85 Years of Continuing Commitment to a Christian, Holistic, Quality Health Care Delivery." Indeed, this is an unmistakable manifestation of your genuine concern for the health and well-being of our constituents.

I would therefore like to commend you for a job well done while at the same time urging you to brace up and look ahead for bigger challenges that lie in store.

Again, my hearty congratulations and my wish that God bless you with countless years of committed service.

Milagros Bacho-Bacus , MD, MPH, CESO IV
