Camillians in ARMC
The Amang Rodriguez Medical Center is a health facility with a 150-bed capacity that also serves as a research and training venue for health practitioners. Located on Sumulong Highway, it services a population of approximately 2,600,353 in Marikina, Antipolo, part of Pasig, Cainta, San Mateo and Rodriguez in Rizal.
The Philippine Province considers ARMC as one
of the effective training grounds where their formands can deepen their
commitment in serving our sick sisters and brothers. For many years
now, college seminarians, postulants, novices and scholastics have been
assigned there for their weekday and Sunday apostolate. In their
apostolate, they visit, listen and journey with the patients and their
relatives as they face their present health situation. Each encounter
with the patients gives the Camillian formands a chance to deepen their
vocation and their commitment to their future ministry. Not only that,
even some of our formators and religious visit the Medical Center to
celebrate the Holy Eucharist with the patients and their relatives and
to facilitate the recollection of the hospital personnel for their
spiritual nourishment.
The strengthened bonding between the Camillians and ARMC
administration, staff and personnel make for a holistic service to the
poor-sick.
