Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation led coordinated outreach in Lucena and Quezon—on Feb. 15 at Dalahican Elementary School, July 27 in Brgy. Dalahican communities, Nov. 18 for Typhoon Kristine victims, and Dec. 13 for adopted schools—to promote health and well-being through free checkups, diagnostics, nutrition support, hygiene kits, and psychosocial care with student and employee volunteers.
CNAHS, with the Medical and Dental Services and Community Relations Department, ran a medical mission at Dalahican Elementary School on Feb. 15, where pupils received assessments, consultations, medicines, vitamins, and meals that reinforced preventive health.
Medical Technology students brought community diagnostics on July 27 to Purok 7, Sta. Teresa, Brgy. Dalahican, serving nearly 100 residents with blood pressure checks, stool analyses, hemoglobin tests, and glucose screenings to flag hypertension and diabetes risks. “Our goal is to make healthcare accessible to everyone while learning to serve our community,” faculty member Catherine Bainto said.
Student nurses and MSEUF employees teamed up on Nov. 18 to distribute food, hygiene kits, and essentials to families affected by Typhoon Kristine. “This initiative is a testament to our students’ and staff’s dedication to serving the community, especially in times of need,” CNAHS Dean Maria Corazon Valdeavilla said.
OSAS and CRD gathered 200 beneficiaries for “Pamaskong Handog 2024” on Dec. 13, joining student organizations to provide assistance that supported children’s well-being and mental health during the holidays. “This activity is our way of spreading happiness and joy to children during the Christmas season,” OSAS Director Joana Fe Panganiban said.
These year-round activities demonstrated MSEUF’s active, structured outreach that improved access to care, strengthened health literacy on prevention and nutrition, and mobilized student volunteering to meet urgent and routine health needs in local communities.
These outreach programs advanced MSEUF’s mission of Service and Excellence and its outcomes-oriented, student-centered approach by immersing learners in real-world health delivery while meeting community needs. The initiatives embodied Unity and Fortitude as students, staff, and offices worked together to sustain care and resilience after crises and during routine health promotion.
