Volunteers give life to SMDC Health and Wellness caravans
SM Development Corporation (SMDC) and its fleet of volunteers recently came to Carmona, Cavite to hold its Health and Wellness Caravan. In collaboration with the said LGU, residents were provided with free medical, dental, and eye checkups.
Volunteer nurses and doctors, who are SMDC residents, took charge of helping the patients go through their checkups seamlessly. As SMDC provides an opportunity for their residents to reach out to people in need, the volunteers themselves were able to make a difference in the lives of other people.
SMDC residents, the Philippine Red Cross, and doctors from SM Foundation dedicated their day attending to the communities in Carmona. After registration, the patients’ vital signs were checked and then they proceeded to the doctors for their consultation.
For the past two years, SMDC has been providing the necessary services to its residents to ensure that they are healthy and safe. SMDC started called for volunteers to assist them in providing free medical check-ups to senior residents as well as the other residents in need of healthcare. This volunteerism program grew bigger as SMDC brought the wellness caravans outside its residential developments.
With the help of over 600 SMDC volunteers, SMDC was able to provide free medical check-ups in various SMDC developments. Apart from their residences, the Good Guys Health and Wellness Caravan went to various communities including Barangay Bundagul in Mabalacat, Pampanga last January 27; Fame Residences in Mandaluyong City on January 28; Breeze Residences in Pasay City on January 29; and Marilao, Bulacan on March 31.
