“It is our living philosophy that above all, we must be compassionate healthcare providers. This is a reflection that throughout, we are paying close attention to each of our teammates, and their dedication is not being put to waste,” said Larrazabal III  in a statement.

 At CDG, Larrazabal III said that they do not just encourage their medical staff and doctors  to anchor their practice to their values, but they honor them when it exudes with them unknowingly.

The 50th anniversary of the institution was filled with fun and fellowship as Larrazabal III said this Golden Jubilee celebration is worth rejoicing for.

He added that onwards, the event will be one of the most anticipated evenings that their medical staff will always look forward to every year.

“This will be the event that shows we are one with our mission, vision, and most of all our values. This is a representation of our harmony that if we enliven these factors, we are one, just like what my Dad would have wanted,” the president and chairman further said.
