MediCard's 25 Years of Building a Healthy Nation

 Dr.  Nicanor D. Montoya believed that if a person could just put away this small sum of money daily, he could already pay for his hospitalization.  From this basic philosophy, MediCard (Philippines) Inc.  started it's humble beginnings.  With a mission to provide quality comprehensive healthcare services to many Filipinos, at a cost we could afford.

 Twenty-five years of milestones was celebrated last May 15, 2012 at the Rizal Ballroom of Shangri La, Makati City.   With a theme "Building a Healthy Nation,"  the night was a tribute to the first HMO in the country, its people, and the companies who benefited and have partnered with them.   To set the night off was a buffet of good food, Shangri La could offer.

With consumers having higher expectations than ever and a lower tolerance for anything that is below par, MediCard aims to instill peace of mind and fulfillment, which are characteristics represented in the logo by the purple hue. Blue, which has been MediCard's official color, represents trust, reliability, and calmness.

The new logo also uses typefaces that make the brand look modern and refreshing.

That means caring for them and treating them more as partners, being responsive, and anticipating their needs", Dr. Montoya said.
