Northern Mindanao is buzzing with excitement after a game-changing day. **The Northern Mindanao Medical Center recently inaugurated three landmark medical facilities on July 13, expanding specialized healthcare in Northern Mindanao and neighboring provinces and regions.** Led by NMMC Medical Center Chief Dr. Alvin P. Quiñon and Department of Health Center for Health Development Regional Director Dr. Sulpicio Henry M. Legaspi Jr., the region now shines brighter.

Moreover, these breakthroughs deliver hope fast.

Northern Mindanao now hosts its first PET/CT Scan Center, along with the first AI-assisted cardiac catheterization laboratory in Mindanao and the first bone bank in the Visayas and Mindanao. 

Patients win big right away.

The new, state-of-the-art facilities will enable earlier diagnosis, faster treatment, and better patient outcomes, particularly for cancer, cardiovascular, and orthopedic cases, while reducing the need for patients to seek care outside the region. What a thrilling leap forward!
