SM Foundation holds medical and dental mission in Consolacion

THE SM Foundation has been extending its health and wellness programs to the marginalized members of the society with the goal of creating sustainable communities.

Through its medical mission program called “Gamot Para sa Kapwa (Medicine For Others),” SM Foundation provides free, comprehensive, accessible and quality medical and dental care to the beneficiaries nationwide.

Last March 7, the “Gamot Para sa Kapwa” event was held at the SM Cinema hallway in SM City Consolacion.

Offered were free chest X-ray, electrocardiography, random blood sugar screening, blood pressure monitoring, medical consultation, dental services and free medicines to patients together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Municipal Health Office.

“SM Foundation’s programs continue to grow each year in magnitude and in reach,” said Connie Angeles, SM Foundation executive director for health. “The Foundation will continue to bring quality and accessible health service to even more communities nationwide.”

Before the “Gamot Para sa Kapwa” event, SM Foundation conducted a free medical and dental mission to all employees, affiliates, agency personnel and tenants of SM Supermalls in Cebu at the Cebu Trade Hall of SM City Cebu.

For SM Foundation, caring for the sick and the less fortunate means promoting their total well-being by providing them with basic health services and encouraging them to have a positive outlook despite life’s many challenges.
