posted March 01, 2017 at 06:30 pm by Manila Standard Lifestyle http://thestandard.com.ph/lifestyle/home-living/230624/vrp-medical-center-improvements-for-44th-anniversary.html In its commitment to serving healthcare to as many as possible, VRP Medical Center (VRPMC) is on the road to achieving another milestone in its 43 years of providing accurate, humane and affordable healthcare, by opening 43 new rooms, composed mostly of private rooms. This is to address the public clamor for heightened privacy and the strengthened spending capacity of patients. These new rooms are on the fifth floor of the main hospital building and span all the way to the 10th floor. They feature meticulously selected color palettes for the walls and the fixtures, to maintain a calming sense of comfort and tranquility for patients. Each room’s layout and contemporary design has been painstakingly conceptualized and fabricated to consider both functionality and for the patient’s ease and comfort. When guests and patrons walk in, the immediate feeling is like walking in a modern, condominium unit. With the addition of the new rooms, new conveniences are also in place for the patients and patrons. Free WiFi access across all hospital floors is now available, making their stay with VRPMC as pleasurable as possible. Energy conservation, a major consideration in the planning of the new rooms, was also actualized by installing LED lamps and inverter type air conditioners, estimated to cut down electrical consumption by as much as 60 percent. In terms of water conservation, low flow valves were installed. VRPMC Engr. Stephen Mercaida, Gen. Services Division head and over-all in charge of construction said, “We’re also making huge improvements on the 11th floor of VRPMC. Once finished, it will house our brand new chapel, four clinical department offices, and an open wellness area.” VRPMC CEO and President Ma. Victoria Vergel De Dios says, “Patients may enjoy the view and walk around while recuperating at the hospital. It is hoped that considering the many amenities we have to offer, it will make their stay pleasurable while being  attended with their medical needs.” Correspondingly, VRPMC’s Physician Center is also geared for improvements. The hospital added a whole new floor, designed to accommodate additional clinics and slated for physicians who would like to be part of the VRPMC family. The reconstruction of the VRP Hall was also part of the hospitals renovation efforts. Now up to date, expanded, and fashionably furnished, the VRP Hall will be the staple venue of VRPMC’s various events, gatherings and programs. Rona Vergel De Dios Garcia, VRPMC Hospital administrator said,  “We are excited to organize conferences and  invite other companies and hospitals to have their seminars and events here at VRPMC. Our hall is not just stylish and functional, but it can now accommodate a large number of participants compared to the previous hall.” To encapsulate all these improvements and showcase it to the public, the hospital refreshed its entire facade. Amidst the turmoil and hubbub of Edsa, VRPMC has stood as a landmark of healthcare for all walks of life, and a rebirth of its facade sets the tone for its renewed commitment to premium quality healthcare that is humane, accurate yet affordable. As mentioned by Director and Chairperson of the construction Committee, Buenaventura Vergel De Dios, “As we unveil the new  and improved rooms and amenities, we also made sure that the facade also represents the new and improved VRP Medical Center”.
