Last May 9, 2026, in celebration of World Family Doctor Day, the Department of Family and Community Medicine of Bethel Baptist Hospital, in collaboration with the Philippine Academy of Family Physicians Bukidnon Chapter, came together for “Stethoscopes to Garbage Bags: A Clean Up Drive” at the Kaamulan Grounds.
Because environmental health is family health. Clean surroundings reduce disease, protect communities, and reflect our shared responsibility as primary care advocates.
That day reminded us that healing is not only done through prescriptions and consultations. Sometimes, it also begins with picking up waste, caring for public spaces, and working together as one community.
