MEDICAL MISSION TRIP INFORMATION

Our Mission: At Florida Hospital Global Mission Initiatives, our mission is to extend the healing ministry of Jesus

Christ throughout the world. We accomplish this through MEDICAL MISSION TRIPS and by creating

opportunities for our employees and friends to provide medical care to those in need.

Global Footprints Through the work of Florida Hospital Global Mission Initiatives, it is our goal to build lasting

relationships with our Global Footprints where our Footprints not only survive but thrive. We identify

their long-term needs, create a strategic plan for improvement, and provide the support needed to

implement and sustain the plan.

The GMI Footprint in the Philippines is at Manila Adventist Medical

Center, a Seventh-day Adventist Institution, located in the heart of the

capital city of Manila. It is the flagship hospital in a chain of 10 hospital

campuses located around the country.

Manila Adventist Medical Center can accommodate 150 pts in their four-

story hospital. A full-time staff of more than 400 delivers healthcare

services to patients where they may be treated with lifestyle programs that include in-patient and out-

patient check-ups, counseling, weight control, stress management, diabetes control and many more.

The Republic of the Philippines is a sovereign island country in Southeast Asia, consisting of over 7,000

islands in three main divisions; Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
