Hospital staff of Adventist Medical Center-Bacolod bow their heads in prayer during the dedication of 26 newly acquired hospital beds on May 21, 2025. The new beds, installed in Patient Care Unit 5 and the Intensive Care Unit, are part of the hospital’s ongoing commitment to provide Christ-centered care and respond to the growing needs of the community.
The Adventist Medical Center-Bacolod (BAMC) expanded its healthcare capacity with the addition of new hospital beds to its Patient Care Unit 5 and Intensive Care Unit. The hospital dedicated the new equipment on May 21, 2025, before placing it into service.
The upgrade includes 21 Versa Hillrom automatic beds for Patient Care Unit 5 and three Linet Eleganza beds for the Intensive Care Unit. The new beds feature advanced functions, including in-bed weighing, adjustable positions, and lateral tilting for improved patient care and safety.
BAMC President and CEO Dr. Sherwin Lowe B. Rodrigo said the additional beds reflect the hospital’s ongoing commitment to quality service and compassionate care. "As we welcome the arrival of our new sets of hospital beds, let us be reminded of our shared commitment to provide the highest standard of care to every patient who enters our doors. These new beds are more than just equipment—they are a symbol of our hospital’s dedication to patient comfort, dignity, and recovery. Let us continue to serve with excellence, kindness, and professionalism. Every smile, gentle touch, and attentive moment makes a difference,” Rodrigo said.
Vice President for Patient Care Services Loren P. Ylaya led the dedication program and highlighted the importance of continuously improving healthcare delivery. Vice President for Finance Bill Ray Ragudo provided an overview of the planning and procurement process, including the challenges involved in acquiring the equipment.
The hospital also procured 21 bedside tables, 21 overbed tables, and IV stands to support the new beds.
BAMC, a leading healthcare institution in Negros Province, aims to provide medical services that reflect the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. The expansion supports its strategic goal of introducing Christ to every patient while responding to the increasing need for improved medical facilities.
