Two Merit Awards may be the headline, but behind Capitol Medical Center’s latest achievement is a deeper story—one shaped by 56 years of healthcare service, purposeful communication, and a commitment to create meaningful change beyond the hospital walls.

Capitol Medical Center (CMC) continues to build on its 56-year legacy after earning two Merit Awards at the 22nd Philippine Quill Awards. The recognition highlights how the institution uses communication not simply to share information, but to engage people, encourage accountability, and create meaningful impact.

But what made these initiatives stand out?

More Than Just a Message

The two awards recognized the CMC Signature Sound and Capitol C.A.R.E.S. (Commit, Act, Reduce, Educate, Sustain) – “Basura Ko, Responsibilidad Ko.”

The CMC Signature Sound helped strengthen the hospital’s digital identity and brand recall. Meanwhile, Capitol C.A.R.E.S. turned waste management into a shared culture of responsibility and sustainability.

Though different in purpose, both initiatives show the same thing: communication does more than inform—it can inspire people to act.

This reflects CMC’s long-standing commitment to “Right Care, Right Here.” For more than five decades, that commitment has extended beyond patient care to include innovation, community engagement, and social responsibility.

Part of a Bigger Achievement

The Philippine Quill Awards recognition is not CMC’s only recent milestone.

Capitol Medical Center was also recognized at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 in Singapore, receiving the Patient Safety Initiative of the Year – Philippines award for its “Lean On Me: Supporting Safety, Preventing Falls” initiative.

Together, these recognitions offer a glimpse of what lies behind CMC’s achievements: a continuing effort to find better ways to communicate, care, and improve the healthcare experience.

Taking Care Beyond the Hospital

CMC’s commitment to service also reaches beyond its facilities.

Capitol Medical Center is a partner of Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International (BMPI)-UNTV in public service, bringing together CMC’s healthcare expertise and UNTV’s public-service platform to help make health information and services more accessible to Filipino communities.

For CMC, service does not end at the hospital door. It also means sharing knowledge, encouraging responsible choices, and finding more ways to reach the people who need healthcare.

More Than an Award

Ultimately, CMC’s latest recognition is about more than trophies.

It represents the people, ideas, and purpose behind the work—from initiatives that encourage responsible action to efforts that promote patient safety and partnerships that bring healthcare closer to the community.

Congratulations to Capitol Medical Center on these well-deserved achievements!

After 56 years of service, CMC continues to move forward while staying true to its promise of “Right Care, Right Here.”

Because behind every award is a story of people working together, finding better ways to serve, and creating an impact that reaches far beyond the recognition itself.

And for Capitol Medical Center, the journey continues.
