Sun Life donates health station

Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation Inc., the philanthropic arm of life insurer Sun Life Philippines, turned over the completed Maasin Barangay Health Station (BHS) to residents of Barangay Maasin in Pura, Tarlac.

This brings the community closer to basic primary health services such as consultations, prenatal check-ups, immunizations, health education and referrals to larger health facilities as necessary. This is complemented by the Community-Based Health and Wellness Program, where a community health nurse trains a barangay nutrition scholar, barangay health workers and cluster leaders to serve the community.

“Sun Life Foundation has always been at the forefront of bringing health services to underserved populations,” said Sun Life Foundation executive director Kristine Millete. “This program is not just about improving the health of communities, but also about strengthening the foundations upon which Filipinos can build brighter futures.”

The turnover is part of a multiyear project launched in partnership with Health Futures Foundation Inc. (HFI), which aims to build fully equipped health facilities in remote areas across the country.
