THE FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY – Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) Medical Center is now officially a part of the Healthway Medical Network following an agreement in 2023.
The hospital, now referred to as Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center, has over 540 accredited doctors across 11 clinical departments, with 10 residency training programs and five fellowship training programs, Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health) said in an e-mailed statement over the weekend.
Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center’s key specializations include Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Oncology, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Surgery. It was founded in 1952 in Morayta and relocated to Quezon City in 1999.
“Because the Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center officially becomes a part of AC Health’s integrated ecosystem, we look ahead to greater collaboration and synergy across our growing network of hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in addition to the broader Ayala ecosystem,” AC Health President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paolo Maximo F. Borromeo said.
AC Health, through Healthway Medical Network, partnered with FEU-NRMF in November 2023. The partnership included a management agreement of as much as 24 months starting January 2024 to be followed by the total turnover of hospital operations under a 35-year lease agreement.
“The Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center represents a renewed commitment to quality and accessible healthcare — rooted in legacy but focused on the longer term. It’s a recognition that great institutions must proceed to evolve to fulfill the needs of the people they serve,” AC Health Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala said.
“With this transition, we reaffirm our commitment not only to patient care, but to continuing that legacy of education and skilled excellence,” he added.
Meanwhile, Healthway Medical Network President and CEO Jaime “Jimmy” E. Ysmael said the Healthway FEU-NRMF Medical Center strengthens the corporate’s presence in Quezon City.
“With our ‘Care Beyond Cure’ philosophy, we transcend treating illness; we deal with nurturing overall well-being and delivering compassionate, human-centric care throughout the patient journey. This partnership allows us to increase that promise to much more communities,” he said.
The Healthway Medical Network, the clinics and hospitals group of AC Health, consists of 4 full-service hospitals and an ambulatory center, 15 Healthway Multi-Specialty Centers, and the Healthway Cancer Care Hospital.
AC Health is the healthcare subsidiary of Ayala Corp. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
