What is Red Cross Youth-Lasallian Medic Society?
RCY-LMS is an institutional organisation situated within De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. Red Cross Youth is also directly linked to Philippine Red Cross, and we are active all over the country. We cater to everyone who needs help in times of need, conduct seminars, assist medical missions, cover disasters, and do timely bloodletting activities. We also take part in imagining a healthier community for all over the country. In times of national disasters and unfortunate events, RCY-LMS members can be mobilized to help, serve, and volunteer. We also have outreach programs to satisfy one’s heart for service, and to uphold the quality of life for all, in the spirit of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute, and in the name of the Philippine Red Cross.
* The Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) forged a partnership for the promotion of volunteerism, humanitarian values, and culture of safety and health through the establishment of Red Cross Youth Councils (RCYCs) in schools nationwide.
Signed on July 16 at the DepEd Bulwagan ng Karunungan, this tripartite partnership provides trainings that will equip teachers, learners, and facilitators with the necessary knowledge and skills on basic life support and first aid in every school across the country. These will better prepare them to respond in the event of disasters and emergencies to save more lives and ensure resilience.
