BACOOR CITY, Caviteย โ€“ Needy residents of the Calabarzon region can obtain free medical and dental services from a clinic that celebratesย its 18thย anniversary thisย year with the launch of a foundation.

Doctors and nurses of the Cavite province-based Wellpoint Medical Clinic and Diagnostic Center, Inc. have been going around poor and marginalized communities in Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Rizal, and Quezon to provide medical and dental care.

โ€œThe Wellpoint Foundation was established as the companyโ€™s corporate social responsibility arm,โ€ Dr. Mary Melodie Patos-Abram, Wellpoint president and medical director, said in a press briefing on Friday. โ€œThis is our way of giving back and for more people to experience our services.โ€

The Wellpoint medical facility branch at a mall in Bacoor has also expanded with cardiological, pediatric, and gynecological services.

โ€œWe aim to become a one-stop shop for patientsโ€™ medical needs,โ€ Abram said. (PNA)
