THE SM Group of Companies through the SM Foundation spread early Christmas cheers as it turned over a Felicidad Sy Wellness Center to the Bulacan Medical Center and conducted its Make A Child Happy program in the hospital for all its young patients recently.
The establishment of Felicidad Sy Wellness Centers is a continuing project of the SM Group of Companies to assist hospitals in dispensing medical and health services. It involves the adoption of a hospital ward, renovating and providing it with medical equipment and furniture and its regular annual maintenance. The Bulacan Medical Center’s Felicidad Sy Wellness Center is the 52nd wellness center established by SM.
The Bulacan Medical Center was formerly the Bulacan Provincial Hospital. It is situated in the historical city of Malolos and has a 300-bed capacity. As the lead government hospital in the province, the Bulacan. Medical Center develops and implements an efficient, effective provincial health services program. It also makes available to the general public health information, renders health services, and coordinates with other government agencies and non-government organizations involved in the promotion and delivery of health services.
During the Make A Child Happy program, SM Foundation distributed gifts and toys to the young patients of the hospital. The toy and gifts were donated by SM mall tenants and shoppers and those collected during the Share A Toy and Share Your Extras campaign of Foundation. Make A Child Happy is a yearly undertaking of the Foundation scheduled before the start of the Christmas season to distribute toys and give joy to children.

Mendoza , provincial health officer II Dr. Hjordias Marushka Celis, provincial health officer I Dr. Protacio Bajao, Department of Pediatrics chairman Dr. Elizabeth Mendoza, former Senator Juan Flavier, SM Foundation executive director Debbie Sy, and SM Foundation executive director for health and medical programs Connie Angeles.
