Faculty and staff from all four campuses availed of the free breast cancer screening while the students did the medical checkup.
The CLMMRH physicians were led by Dr. Kesia Lois Arcolas and Dr. Eirene Ayalin with Dr. Krizzia Garingalao, Dr. Precious Gregorio, Dr. Louise Angelica Dagcutan, and Dr. Ma. Pamela Damazo providing the free medical screening.
The medical mission was organized by the GAD Office led by Director Elvie Samson with coordinators Hanna Grace Lopez of Alijis campus, Rose Regala of Binalbagan campus, and Ann Charyl Gallo of the Fortune Towne campus.
Among those who availed of the free checkup was Ira Michel Tabuada, a BSEd major in English student.
