AFCH on Wellness Movement Program

The Air Force City Hospital, headed by LTC IRENE M ABUTAS MC(GSC), officially rolled out the Wellness Movement Program on 31 March 2026, the first initiative of its kind within the Philippine Air Force. Spearheaded by the Department of Health through the Central Luzon Center for Health Development, the program represents a significant milestone in advancing the overall well-being of healthcare workers.

The event gathered hospital staff to promote holistic well-being. It showed that wellness includes not just mental health, but also physical, emotional, and social health. A key part of the event was a talk by Mr. Jojie Maglaqui, who discussed managing stress, avoiding burnout, and building emotional strength.

Participants learned simple ways to stay healthy, such as practicing mindfulness, managing stress, and supporting one another. These encouraged balance in both work and personal life. The program also stressed the importance of good nutrition, with fresh fruits and vegetables given out to promote healthier habits.

The activity was extended to include more personnel in AFCH, increasing its reach and impact. It encourages healthcare workers to care for their own well-being while serving others, promoting a healthier and more resilient workforce.

This initiative reflects the hospital’s ongoing commitment to supporting a balanced and effective healthcare team.

A job well done, AFCH!
