The San Juan Medical Center (SJMC), in partnership with SM Foundation and the local government of San Juan, opened its new Wellness Hub on Oct. 8, the first of its kind in a public hospital.
The facility aims to promote preventive healthcare and provide holistic services to patients, healthcare workers, and the surrounding community. It delivers care through a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, therapists, fitness coaches, and counselors.
Located within the hospital, the Wellness Hub offers an accessible and calming space apart from high-stress clinical areas while remaining close to medical services for referrals. It operates during regular hospital hours, with select services available after-hours, and accommodates both appointments and walk-in visits.
The facility includes dedicated spaces such as the Nursing Lounge, Changing Area, TeenThrive Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Lifestyle Medicine, Comprehensive Care Suite, Sight & Sound, Diagnostic Suite, and Meditation Chapel. Upcoming additions include Bite and Smile (Dental), Clear Imaging (Radiology), and Kinetics and Vitality (Gym).
The hub’s spacious rooms allow medical professionals to conduct health screenings, nutrition counseling, stress management, fitness classes, mental health support, and patient education. Programs focus on prevention and wellness, supported by modern tools and community partnerships.
Through the project, SM Foundation supports SJMC’s goal to become a pioneer in green healthcare and contribute to the national health goals by 2030, which emphasize universal access to quality health services and the prevention and management of noncommunicable diseases.
To extend its support, SM Foundation also conducted a medical mission alongside the turnover, offering free ECG, X-ray, and blood screening services, as well as essential medicines. Patients requiring further treatment were referred to SJMC for continued care.
