Cagayan de Oro City – July 2025 — In line with the nationwide celebration of Nutrition Month, Madonna and Child Medical Center (MCMC) proudly launched “Market Market sa Madonna and Child Medical Center,” a mini-market initiative designed to promote healthy eating and support local livelihood.
With this year’s theme, “Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!”, the event aimed to raise awareness on the importance of food and nutrition security as a fundamental right. The hospital grounds came alive with a vibrant display of fresh fruits, vegetables, and local produce, all sourced from community vendors.
This meaningful project not only encouraged patients, employees, and visitors to make healthier food choices but also provided an accessible marketplace within the hospital premises — bringing both convenience and community support together.
More than just a wellness campaign, the initiative served as a platform to empower small-scale farmers and local sellers, helping them reach new customers while being part of a greater cause — the promotion of public health through nutrition.
Madonna and Child Medical Center continues to uphold its commitment to holistic care, extending beyond hospital walls to touch lives through programs that nourish both body and community.
