UPLB TO BUILD A NEW HEALTH FACILITY

/ 9 January 2022

THE UNIVERSITY of the Philippines Los Baños on January 6 broke ground for its Emergency Room Extension Facility.

The health facility is under the University Health Services.

It will serve the residents of Los Baños.

The project is the result of a partnership between the UP Medical Alumni Society in America and the UPLB Class of 1971 Legacy Project, with assistance from the UPLB Alumni Association.

In October 2021, members of the UPLB Class of 1971 represented by its president, Dr. Rosalina M.  Lapitan, signed a deed of donation amounting to P870,000 to fund the ER extension facility.

Members of Class 1971 who live in the United States sent equipment and supplies for the project.
