Perpetual Help Medical Center (PHMC) and RISE, a leading business-to-business internet service provider, have formalized a strategic partnership to enhance the hospital’s resiliency and capacity to serve the Las Piñas community during calamities.
The partnership was inaugurated on Wednesday at the DALTA Conference Room, coinciding with PHMC’s 50th Anniversary celebration roadmap themed “Golden Year. Greater Heights. Up and Beyond.”
PHMC president Lt. Col. Richard Antonio M. Tamayo said the collaboration with RISE will equip the hospital with robust, high-speed internet connectivity to ensure seamless communication and uninterrupted health service delivery during emergencies.
“Our collaboration with RISE empowers us to enhance our disaster response capabilities, guaranteeing that we can reach and assist our patients without delay, regardless of the situation,” Tamayo told the press during the event.
“Through RISE, we’ll have a digital backbone ensuring that our doctors, nurses, and support teams can continue providing uninterrupted service even in times of crisis. This initiative forms part of our broader modernization roadmap, anchored on our Hospital Information System and Business Continuity Plan,” the executive added.
The hospital’s ongoing initiatives, according to Tamayo, are designed to safeguard lives, sustain essential operations, and enable rapid recovery in the face of any disaster—whether natural or man-made.
“As we look forward to the next 50 years, Perpetual Help Medical Center remains committed to innovation that not only strengthens our systems but also preserves the trust of the community we serve,” he said.
Representing RISE at the event, area sales head Justin Santiano described the partnership as a shared mission to support continuous healthcare delivery through reliable connectivity.
“Our goal is to support PHMC in maintaining uninterrupted health services by delivering dependable connectivity that can withstand the challenges posed by natural calamities,” Santiano said.
The collaboration forms part of PHMC’s broader efforts to modernize hospital operations while reinforcing its role as a pillar of community health and resilience in southern Metro Manila.
For over five decades, PHMC has provided accessible and quality medical services to residents of Las Piñas and nearby areas, adapting to the evolving needs of its growing community.
RISE, known for providing fast and reliable internet solutions across various business sectors in the Philippines, continues to enable organizations to operate seamlessly even during critical moments, helping ensure continuity of essential services like healthcare.
