Ang Southern Isabela Medical Center ay katuwang sa paggunita ng Colorectal Cancer Awareness ngayong buwan ng Marso. Layunin nitong turuan ang publiko tungkol sa isa sa mga karaniwang uri ng kanser na pumapatay ng maraming Pilipino.
Sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon, natututo ang mga tao na kilalanin ang mga sintomas nito, maintindihan ang mga risk factors tulad ng di-malusog na pamumuhay, at higit sa lahat, mahikayat na magpa-screen o magpa-checkup nang maaga.
Ang kanser na ito ay lubhang magagamot lalo na kung maagang natutuklasan, kaya ang buwan na ito ay isang mahalagang paalala na ang pag-iwas at maagang aksyon ay susi upang mailigtas ang buhay.
Sa pangunguna ni Dr. Krizia Gail G. Balabbo, MPM, PHU Adviser kasama si Dr. John Wesley Torio mula sa SIMC - Department of General Surgery, isinagawa ang Bantay Edukasyon sa mga pasyente at bantay ng SIMC OPD.

Bilang isang apex o tertiary level hospital ang Southern Isabela Medical Center (SIMC), mahalaga na alamin ang mga proseso ng pagpapatingin ng mga nararamdamang sakit at pagpapakonsulta sa mga doktor para sa mga pasyente na OPD (Out-Patient Department).
Ilan sa mga itinalakay ang mga serbisyong handog ng OPD mula sa mga iba't ibang departamento ng SIMC para sa mga pasyente, pagpunta sa triage at pagkuha ng QR code, pagpapacheck-up muna sa mga nars ng navigation, at pagfill-up ng PPI o Patient's Personal Information.
Sa pangunguna ni Dr. Krizia Gail G. Balabbo, MPM, PHU Adviser kasama si Ms. Jane Genevieve Loñez, isang nars mula sa SIMC - Out-Patient Department (OPD) Services, isinagawa ang Bantay Edukasyon sa mga pasyente at bantay ng SIMC OPD.

Ang Southern Isabela Medical Center ay nakikiisa sa paggunita ng World Obesity Day ngayong araw, Marso 4, 2026. Mahalaga ang selebrasyon na ito upang buksan ang ating kamalayan na ang sobrang timbang o obesity ay hindi lamang usapin ng itsura, kundi isang malubhang sakit na nagdudulot ng panganib sa ating kalusugan tulad ng diabetes, alta-presyon, at kanser.
Ito rin ay para alalahanin ang publiko na kailangan nating kumilos hindi lang bilang indibidwal, kundi bilang isang komunidad upang baguhin ang mga sistema at kapaligirang nagtutulak sa pagdami ng kaso ng obesity, para sa mas mahaba at mas malusog na buhay ng bawat isa.
Sa pangunguna ni Dr. Krizia Gail G. Balabbo, MPM, PHU Adviser kasama sina Ms. Roselyn Inocente, RND, Ms. Teresita Madlaing, RND, MPA at Ms. Jherlyn Faith Ramales mula sa SIMC - Nutrition and Dietetics Department, isinagawa ang Bantay Edukasyon sa mga pasyente at bantay ng SIMC OPD.

Ang proseso ng biometrics, tulad ng pagkuha ng fingerprint o facial scan, ay isang malaking tulong upang pabilisin at gawing mas episyente ang digitalisasyon ng pagse-set ng OPD appointment sa Southern Isabela Medical Center.
Ito ay nag-aalis sa pangangailangang punan ng pasyente ang paulit-ulit na mga form, pinipigilan ang pagdoble ng mga rekord, at nagsisiguro na ang isang pasyente ay agad na makikilala at mabibigyan ng tamang rekord sa fingerprint lamang.
Katuwang ang SIMC sa pagsulong ng biometrics na hindi lamang nagpapadali para sa mga pasyente kundi tumutulong din sa ospital na magamit nang mas maayos ang mga mapagkukunan nito, na nagreresulta sa mas maayos at episyenteng sistema ng pangangalagang pangkalusugan.
Sa pangunguna ni Dr. Krizia Gail G. Balabbo, MPM, PHU Adviser at Ms. Nerissa Dizon, HIMD Unit Head kasama si Mr. John Michael Cabaldo mula sa SIMC - Health Information and Management Department, isinagawa ang Bantay Edukasyon sa mga pasyente at bantay ng SIMC OPD.

Ngayong araw ay ipinagdiriwang ng Southern Isabela Medical Center ang International Ear Care Day na naglalayong ipaalala sa atin ang tamang pag-aalaga ng ating pandinig.
Sa talakayang ito, nagbibigay ng kamalayan sa publiko tungkol sa mga sakit sa tenga at ang posibleng pagkabingi na maaaring makaapekto sa kalidad ng ating buhay, lalo na sa mga bata.
Hinihikayat tayong magpakonsulta sa doktor, iwasan ang maingay na lugar, at alagaan ang ating mga tenga upang mapanatiling malusog ang ating pandinig.
