The Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC) celebrated the 52nd Nutrition Month with a program centered on the theme "Nutrition and Nature, Let's Take Care of Them!", featuring local food exhibits and health activities. The event was held at the hospital located along Visitacion Street in Angeles City, Pampanga.
A Celebration of Healthy Living
The event featured local exhibitors offering nutritious food, fresh produce, and other products that promote a healthy lifestyle. Activities were also conducted to encourage staff, patients, and visitors to practice proper nutrition as an important part of health care. The RLMMC, a public hospital under the Department of Health, has been actively improving its health services and facilities . In recent years, the hospital has expanded its Renal Care Unit, added new dialysis machines, and is constructing a new seven-storey building with 120-bed capacity to accommodate more patients.
A Commitment to Community Health
Through programs like this, RLMMC continues to promote awareness on proper nutrition and the importance of collective action toward a healthier community. The 2026 Nutrition Month theme, "Nutrisyon at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan!" (Nutrition and Nature, Let's Take Care of Them!), highlights the growing recognition that good nutrition begins with healthy ecosystems and food systems. Protecting forests, oceans, agricultural lands, and water resources helps secure food sources and ensures that future generations have access to nutritious and sustainable diets. The hospital's celebration reminds Kapampangans that caring for nature and eating well are connected efforts that benefit the entire community.
