On EPCALM's 19th Anniversary, QC LGU lauds EPCALM programs for adult leukemia patients, families
On the commemoration of the 19th Founding Anniversary of the EPCALM Adult Leukemia of the Philippines, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte lauded the efforts of the Foundation to provide assistance and allied services to adult leukemia patients and their families all over the country.
Since 2005, the EPCALM Foundation has responded to the increasing number of adult leukemia patients and addressed their various requirements, including the provision of spiritual care, guided medical options, resource development, and psycho-social intervention, among others.
“Your commitment has always been to ensure that each patient receives not only the best medical care, but also the emotional, and practical support needed to navigate this challenging journey,” Mayor Belmonte said, adding that “We have seen the profound impact that a personalized approach can have on patients and their families.”
“Each leukemia diagnosis is unique, and so are the needs of every patient. By tailoring your support programs to address individual circumstances, you have been providing more effective and compassionate care,” the Quezon City Chief Executive continued.
Mayor Belmonte also highlighted the thrust of EPCALM: “Family is at the heart of your mission. We understand that a leukemia diagnosis affects not just the patient, but his or her entire support system.”
“You family-oriented programs help close relatives cope with the emotional toll of the disease, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to support their loved ones. Through this, you create spaces for families to share their experiences, fostering a community of hope and resilience.”
According to Mayor Belmonte, “the Quezon City Government commits to working more closely with (EPCALM in your) advocacy. We will continue to innovate, and expand our programs dedicated to the health and wellness of every individual in the city.
Mayor Belmonte is a Member of the EPCALM Honorary Board of Trustees.
