A Homecoming of Vision and Unity: Usec. Dr. Glenn Mathew G. Baggao ,MHA,MSN,FPSMS,FPCHA Visits LHMRH
The halls of Luis Hora Memorial Regional Hospital (LHMRH) were filled with a profound sense of pride and nostalgia on April 8, 2026, as the community welcomed back a former leader. Undersecretary of Health Dr. Glenn Mathew G. Baggao returned to the institution he once served as Medical Center Chief, this time in his national capacity to oversee the Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP). He was warmly received by the LHMRH Management Committee, led by the current Medical Center Chief II, Dr. Eduardo B. Calpito.
The visit centered on a rigorous "refine and check" session of the hospitalโs HFEP projects. This collaborative review ensured that every infrastructure development and equipment upgrade aligns perfectly with the Universal Health Care mandate, aimed at providing specialized, high-quality care to the Cordillera region. During the presentation, Usec. Baggao provided expert insights on streamlining hospital workflows, drawing from both his deep historical knowledge of the facility and his current strategic role within the Department of Health.
The highlight of the engagement was an inspiring address from the Undersecretary, who reminded the staff that the hospitalโs true power lies in its people. "When there is unity, there is strength," he remarked, emphasizing that the modernization of LHMRH is a collective journey. Under the leadership of Dr. Eduardo B. Calpito and the Management Committee, the hospital continues to build upon the foundation laid by its predecessors. This visit reinforces that with a united vision and the continued support of the DOH, LHMRH stands stronger than ever as a beacon of health and healing for the North.
