AppleOne Medical Group (AMG), the healthcare arm of the Cebu-based AppleOne Group, is officially expanding its footprint across the Visayas and Mindanao (VisMin) regions. With a strategic mission to eliminate the need for patients to travel to Manila for specialized treatment, AMG is integrating luxury hospitality standards with advanced clinical technology to transform regional healthcare.
By applying the same guest-centric excellence that has earned its hospitality properties international acclaim, AppleOne is revitalizing long-standing medical institutions into future-ready facilities.
Founded in 2020 during the height of the global pandemic, AMG was born from a “leap of faith” to address the critical gaps in regional medical access.
“Our goal has always been to elevate the standard of living in VisMin—through the places we build, the experiences we offer, and now, through the care we deliver,” said Ray Go Manigsaca, President and CEO of AppleOne Group. “We are cultivating a system where competent and compassionate healthcare is the standard, not the exception.”
AMG’s portfolio features flagship institutions that provide specialized services previously unavailable in their respective regions:
-
VisayasMed (Cebu City): Partnering with Singapore Diagnostics and the Singapore Cancer Center Inc., it hosts the Philippines’ first ESMO-certified oncology facility, offering precision diagnostics to over 1,000 patients daily.
-
United Shalom Hospital (Tacloban): A pre-World War II eco-conscious facility serving Eastern Visayas. It fills a vital gap in maternal and critical care with 100 beds and upcoming ICU/NICU units.
-
Brokenshire Medical Center (Davao): A pioneer in Mindanao, it features a Heart Institute and the region’s first multidisciplinary center for children with special needs (CANDEV). It is also the first in Asia to install the Dräger Atlan ceiling-mounted anesthesia machine.
Looking toward the future of 2026 and beyond, AMG is developing a hub-and-spoke healthcare model. This strategy involves establishing satellite outpatient centers and primary care facilities within a 50-kilometer radius of its flagship hospitals. This network ensures that even underserved rural communities gain a direct pipeline to tertiary specialized care without the burden of long-distance travel.
Through these innovations, AppleOne Medical Group is not just building hospitals; it is building a sustainable, world-class healthcare ecosystem for the people of VisMin.
