History
For 35 years, Capitol
Medical Center has been one of the leaders in providing
the best in health care delivery. Founded and incorporated
March 13, 1973 by Dr. Thelma N. Clemente, her husband, Luis
C. Clemente and close friends and associates, Capitol Medical
Center was envisioned by the founders to be the perfect
balance of modern medical technology and personalized quality
patient care.
The support and efficiency of the medical staff and employees
combined with the acumen of the management, proved to be
essential in overcoming obstacles and difficulties in its
early years. Imbued with these core values, the staff set
out to work and CMC immediately posted tremendous growth.
Therefore, expansion in terms of space, facilities and services
increased. In 1973 and 1974 purchase of adjacent lots was
made. And in 1975, construction of the CMC Building was
finished with additional beds available for patients. Consequently,
the working areas of the departments were enlarged to accommodate
new equipment and increased workload. During this time,
Capitol Medical Center made its mark as a pioneer in the
Philippine medical industry with the distinction of having
the first successful kidney transplant. It also established
the first and only Spine Care Center in the country.
The following decade saw the need for more space as patient
admissions doubled from previous years. Thus, CMC III Building
was constructed. CMC III houses both the Comprehensive Out
Patient Center and the different doctors' clinics.
As we head towards the new millenium, the ever increasing
desire of Capitol Medical Center to provide the best care
for its patients evolved with the construction of the CMC
IV Building, with more bed space, bigger and better state-of-the-art
facilities and doctors' clinics for optimum services. Capitol
Medical Center continues its commitment to uphold health
care excellence in the coming years. And with the quality
of service from the dedicated men and women working as one,
CMC assures you that it will continue to be the top health
care provider in the community where it belongs.
