Amidst the challenges of the pandemic, all five District Hospitals in Balaoan, Bacnotan, Naguilian, Caba, and Rosario, together with the La Union Medical Center in Agoo continue to upgrade its services by undergoing Strategic Targeting Writeshops (STWs) with the theme, “Ramp Up: Performance through Alignment”.
Naguilian District Hospital, represented by its management committee headed by Provincial Health Office/ Acting Chief of Hospital Dr. Eduardo S. Posadas , make up the pilot session of the program which was held at the Provincial Capitol yesterday, June 14, 2021. The writeshop was led by Governor Pacoy together with Provincial Administrator Agnes Grace A. Cargamento, Provincial Planner Michaela Louise T. Delfinado, and facilitated by the Office for Provincial Strategy headed by Assistant Chief Noemi R. Jucar.
The writeshop aims to ensure optimal operations of the whole health care system of the Province amidst the challenges brought by the pandemic. This is done through the assessment of hospital operations, alignment of their vision and mission to the Province’s strategic thrust, and crafting of their hospital development and sustainability plans to warrant complementation of efforts and maximized performance.
In his speech, Gov. Pacoy acknowledged the commendable efforts of the District Hospitals over the course of the pandemic, but emphasized that they can do more through their alignment. He added, “We can take this commendable performance to the next level through our alignment because we can only move the Province forward if we take the steps together… We can only build a Stronger Province if we exert stronger performances together.”
The Provincial Government intends to conduct STW sessions with the rest of its hospitals over the following weeks. Through the continuous upgrading of the Province’s health care services, we will establish a #StrongerLaUnion, a Province worth living in.
