St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC) recently received two major distinctions on the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026, recognizing its Quezon City facility and its top leadership. SLMC Quezon City was named Tertiary Hospital of the Yr – Philippines, while Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr. Dennis P. Serrano was honored as CEO of the Yr – Asia.
“These recognitions reflect the collective work of our people,” Mr. Serrano said in a press release released Friday.
“We remain focused on delivering care that our patients can trust, strengthening how we serve, and continuing to guide with responsibility.”
SLMC said the popularity reflects its sustained investment in accredited care programs, medical innovation, and patient-centered systems, which support efficient and coordinated healthcare delivery.
Previously yr, BusinessWorld had the prospect to cover SLMC’s several initiatives and milestones.
Amongst these is the opening of a 40-bed charity ward at its Quezon City facility, providing fully free or subsidized take care of patients evaluated by the hospital’s social service team.
SLMC also accomplished over 2,500 robotic-assisted surgeries, reinforcing its leadership in minimally invasive procedures.
The hospital also celebrated the three hundredth minimally invasive Transcatheter Aortic Valve Alternative (TAVR) procedure for aortic stenosis, offering patients faster recovery and shorter hospital stays.
Moving ahead, SLMC earlier announced plans for a brand new hospital in Paraсaque, which can expand its reach beyond Quezon City and Global City by 2030. — Edg Adrian A. Eva
