LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN—Governor Ramon V. Guico III spearheaded the recent inauguration of the Temporary Facility for In-Patients at Lingayen District Hospital (LDH), coinciding with the hospital’s 33rd anniversary celebration.
The 36-bed capacity facility is part of the Provincial Government’s immediate response toward the on-going modernization of all government-operated hospitals throughout the province. It is expected to be operational this August and will serve as a preparatory measure for the construction of a new three-story LDH building.
In his message, Governor Guico expressed his gratitude to all hospital staff for their continued service to the province.
“I’m very happy that all things are going well in our province. To all the teams that make up the leadership, we thank you for your loyalty to your work and for fulfilling your duties wholeheartedly, sacrificing many things,” he said.
Vice Governor Mark Ronald DG Lambino, on the other hand, commended the hardworking employees of LDH as he urged them to uphold three important characteristics of a true-blooded public servant—compassion, resilience, and integrity.
Likewise, LDH Chief-of-Hospital Dr. Aurelio Cariño hailed the government’s support to improve, beautify, and provide modern equipment for the patients of LDH.
Also present at the event were Provincial Administrator Melicio F. Patague II, 4th District Board Member Jerry Agerico Rosario, Provincial Health Administrator Dr. Tracy Lou Bitoy, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Vivian Villar Espino, Provincial Legal Officer Atty. Baby Ruth Torre, chiefs-of-hospitals, and LDH employees.
