Cavite Medical Center enters new chapter under CARD MRI management

Cavite Medical Center (CMC), a tertiary hospital in Cavite City, has officially welcomed its new management team and newly elected Board of Directors during a town hall meeting held on September 7, 2026.

The gathering brought together the hospital’s executive officers, partner representatives, physicians, healthcare professionals, and administrative personnel to mark the beginning of a new chapter in the institution’s history.

Now in its 54th year since opening in September 1972, CMC is embarking on a new era following its acquisition by CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI). The hospital is now led by President Dr. Gil Mikhail Llanto, with Dr. Jaime Aristotle B. Alip, founder and chair emeritus of CARD MRI, serving as Board Chairman.

As part of the organizational transition, CMC has officially become part of CARD Care Network Inc. (CCNI), the healthcare arm of CARD MRI responsible for managing its network of healthcare facilities and services.

The partnership brings together CMC’s more than five decades of medical service in Cavite and CARD MRI’s extensive experience in community development, with a shared commitment to making quality healthcare more accessible to Filipino families.

“For years, CMC has been a hospital Cavite families could count on. We are honored to inherit its legacy of compassionate care, especially for those who need it most,” Dr. Llanto said.

He added that through CARD Care Network, the hospital aims to expand access to quality medical services and continue serving more families across the province.

During the town hall meeting, the new management also introduced enhanced employee benefits, workplace engagement initiatives, and professional development programs aimed at improving employee welfare and providing greater opportunities for the personal and professional growth of its workforce.

Dr. Alip emphasized that the transition is not only about a change in leadership but also about sustaining the hospital’s longstanding commitment to public service.

“This new chapter of CMC is about continuity of service and a deeper purpose. We honor the 54 years of CMC’s compassionate care, and we will continue its service of delivering high-quality healthcare, now with the shared mission of poverty eradication with CARD MRI and bringing accessible healthcare to the community,” he said.

With its integration into CARD Care Network, Cavite Medical Center looks forward to strengthening its healthcare services and further advancing patient-centered, community-oriented medical care for the people of Cavite.
