“My father is all I have, and I want to devote more attention to him by providing the best health care I can afford”
            Kidney failure brought Mila and her father closer together, with the former opting to see
the light rather than the shadow behind the crisis. Mila’s father was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Failure in 2009, just a few years after losing her mother to another serious illness. Undeterred by the latest trial, Mila set aside a fulfilling career in the medical field to spend more time in taking care of her ailing father, and make sure he gets the best medical care. Her father’s confinement at the Capitol Medical Center eventually led them to the hospital’s Dialysis Unit, an incidental path she never regrets to this day.
            “The staff is like second family to me, and the unit a second home. I believe that
treatment alone is not enough for my father, but the  encouragement coming from the doctors and nurses plus the homely ambience, also counted a lot.” Mila is certainly assured with competent  health professionals regularly attending to her father. Making it more convenient is the unit’s accessibility in the heart of Quezon City, a close distance to their home in Manila.
            The recent transfer of the unit from the hospital’s 6th floor level to the new building  along  Quezon Ave., reinforced further Mila’s positive perspective on the CMC Dialysis Unit. “I like the wide spaces of the new center. It made my father more relaxed and comfortable by seeing more
people and activity around him. No more hospital feel and look, since the area is less stressful to him now”.
