We've embarked on a meaningful collaboration with the Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium (DJNRMH) Nursing Service, focusing on enhancing livelihoods and providing progressive support. As St. Bernadette of Lourdes College (SBLC), we were privileged to attend the crucial meeting convened by DJNRMH, a gathering that cemented our commitment through a formal Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed on August 15, 2023. This agreement, ratified by Medical Chief II, Alfonso Victorino H. Famaran, Jr., MD, FPCS, officially designates DJNRMH as a vital teaching and training institution for us. Through this partnership, we ensure our students gain essential practical competencies while actively participating in and supporting the hospital’s impactful community assistance programs.

Our commitment to this collaboration directly aligns with our dedication to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3): Good Health and Well-being. As an institution, we are not merely training future nurses; we are nurturing agents of change who understand the necessity of inclusive healthcare and community upliftment. Our involvement with this initiative is a tangible expression of our promise to promote good health and well-being beyond the classroom and traditional hospital setting. This partnership yields substantial benefits for our entire community: our students receive unparalleled, real-world clinical and community experience, moving beyond theoretical knowledge. Meanwhile, our teaching and non-teaching personnel benefit from opportunities for professional development, deeper community engagement, and a more profound sense of purpose as they guide students through this vital work.
Ultimately, the goal of SBLC, in this and all our endeavors, is to be a beacon for holistic health promotion. We believe that true well-being encompasses physical health, economic stability, and social inclusion—the very pillars of the DJNRMH initiative we are supporting. By integrating community service directly into our educational framework, we are actively shaping future healthcare professionals who are skilled, compassionate, and socially responsible. This MOA establishes a progressive, sustainable framework in which our educational mission and the hospital's mandate for public service are mutually reinforced, enabling us to contribute to a healthier, more inclusive society collaboratively.
