Awards and Accolades:
In 2015, the remodeling of the OR resulted in the loss of the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) space. The Hospital didn't have resources to equip the new space. Mending Faces stepped in and donated a large air conditioner, beds, monitors, and regulators - more than $8,700 equipment so all surgical patients can receive the best care as they recover. Above is a picture of the Head of Hospital, Dr. Paul Macahilas, Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Vic Santamaria, Rotary Secretary, Bing Santamaria, Mission Pediatrician, Dr. Jaime Arnold, Mending Faces’ Liaison, Blesiah Cordova, RN plus many Rotary friends displaying the PACU Plaque after the turnover of equipment.
Alex Esclamado Award: Mending Faces chose Kalibo, Aklan as the site for our Medical Missions three years in a row. Our efforts in the hospital and in the community were really appreciated. As part of the nomination process for the Alex Esclamado Award, we received the three below nomination letters.
