Wesleyan University Philippines

Wesleyan University – Philippines (WU-P), nestled in the heart of Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija, Philippines, is known for its provision of academic excellence, molding students to become leaders in the various aspects of social, cultural, economic, and Christian living and services, hence serving the nation and the Church.
Students are housed in 17 multi-story buildings where they are trained to embrace a brighter future ahead. They are accorded with the most hospitable accommodation that they would love to come back to while enjoying the fruits of their excellent academic pieces of training in their respective places.
Wesleyan offers educational programs in the pre-school, elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Emphasizing a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, the university academic offerings cover a broad range of disciplines, including behavioral and applied sciences, engineering, social sciences, business management, education, and theology. The University begins to open its School of Law in Academic Year 2015-2016.
We envision God's reign through a Christian institution of learning inspired by the Methodist tradition to transform society. To this end, Wesleyan University-Philippines undergirds scholarship, character, and service with a lively faith in God. Anchored on the Philosophy of WUP (Scholarship, Character, and Service) and the Wesleyan principles - Do No Harm, Do Good, Stay in Love with God, the following core values were formulated: Competence, Compassion, Unity, Spirituality, and Accountability (CCUS).
The idea for a Wesleyan University-Philippines general hospital was conceived in 2002 to support the clinical needs of the College of Nursing and Allied Medical Services and in preparation for the establishment of a College of Medicine. The hospital was first launched as a diagnostic center on February 22, 2006. A year later. It was upgraded into a highly specialized cardio-vascular center dubbed as the "Heart Center of the North." Surgeons and support specialists came from the Heart Center of the Philippines. With no home-grown cardio-vascular surgeons and support specialists, the number of patients admitted was not enough to support the hospital's operation. The University had to subsidize it financially.
A change of University administration in April 2009 prompted the Board of Trustees to realign the original concept of the hospital – that of offering all specialty services open to local practitioners while maintaining its cardiovascular capabilities. The hospital's name was changed to Wesleyan University Medical Center, with the subsidy from the University discontinued. The hospital slowly gained recognition from the community through its operation was limited to its cardio-vascular specialty's existing facilities.
With the ever-escalating cost of hospitalization, WUMC, being a non-stock, non-profit institution, can offer to the public the same quality or even better health care provided by other hospitals at a lesser cost. At present, the hospital is in a period of development. It requires more funds to expand its infrastructure and purchase equipment in line with the improvement of facilities. All these are needed to achieve its goal of self-sufficiency.
