Led by Chariman Virgilio Durban Sr., our passionate team, including Active Consultants Dr. Rizal Aportadera, Dr. Cecilio Gempesaw and Dr. Warlito Vicente, dedicated themselves to the growth and development of our department.

By 1985, we encountered difficulties amidst the hospital's downturn. Nevertheless, our determined medical professionals envisioned a fresh start, leading to the establishment of Brokenshire Integrated Health Ministries, Inc. in 1990.
