The Institute of Nursing expressed its deep gratitude to its partner hospitals, clinical centers, and community health agencies. These affiliate institutions serve as training grounds for KLD nursing students, offering them the real-world clinical experience, hospital exposure, and hands-on patient care training necessary to become competent healthcare professionals. By opening their doors to student nurses, these partners bridge the gap between classroom theory and actual medical practice, ensuring that KLD graduates are fully prepared to meet the demands of the healthcare industry.
Among the prominent medical institutions recognized for their unwavering support were major local and provincial healthcare facilities. KLD honored the Pagamutan ng Dasmariñas, a government-run hospital established in 1997, whose busy Out Patient Department provides essential consultations and specialty clinic exposure. The ION also extended its gratitude to the Asia Medic Family Hospital & Medical Center, a secondary-level facility operating for over 16 years known for its community-focused care and specialized clinics, as well as the Dasmariñas City Medical Center. For essential public health immersion, the ION recognized the decentralized branches of the Dasmariñas City Health Offices (CHO), which collaborate with local officials to deliver primary health services, immunizations, and maternal care across the city.
Specialized care facilities were also given distinct recognition for providing unique, highly focused learning environments. The Institute of Nursing commended the Cavite Center for Mental Health in Trece Martires City, a specialized Level 4 psychiatric facility that has provided in-patient and outpatient psychiatric care. For geriatric care and specialized rehabilitation, ION honored the Father Saturnino Lopez Home Center alongside the Greenbreeze Home for the Aged, which offers specialized residential care and daily living assistance in a comfortable environment. The San Jose Balay Alima Foundation, Inc. in Indang was also recognized for its long-standing mission since 1994 to provide shelter and companionship to abandoned and homeless seniors.
The recognition also featured top-tier medical centers and provincial networks from neighboring areas, highlighting the expanding network of KLD's clinical alliances. This includes the Imus Family Hospital, a DOH-accredited Level 1 private facility focusing on family-oriented care and digital electronic records. At the tertiary level, the provincial government-run General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital (GEAMH) in Trece Martires City, working alongside the Korea-Philippines Friendship Hospital (KPFP), was honored for providing high-intensity clinical interventions and specialized residency training. Finally, ION recognized the major facilities in General Trias and Silang, including the DOH-accredited Mother-Baby Friendly Gentri Medical Center and Hospital (GENTRIMED), and the City of General Trias Doctors Medical Center, a 100-bed Level 2 private hospital under the Metro Pacific Health group, as well as the Silang Specialist Medical Center.
Through these partnerships, KLD continues to secure premium clinical placements to produce compassionate and highly skilled nurse leaders.
