Never has wellness been so important as now. Many Filipino families and individuals have come to the realization that all efforts to gain success will amount to nothing without good health. Health and wellness is not a matter of luxury but necessity. PhilCare proposes to be part of the solution by going beyond the usual medical and hospitalization benefits offered to members.

What is PhilCare?

PhilCare is one of the pioneers in the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) industry in the country. Originally known as the Philippine Health Systems, Inc (PHS), it was renamed PhilamCare when it was acquired by the Philippine American Life (Philam Life) Insurance Company. In 2009, it adopted its current name PhilhealthCare Inc. or simply PhilCare when it was subsequently acquired by STI Investments, Inc. From then on, the main goal is to be a leading player in the health care industry while striving to provide extensive and high-quality health services to every Filipino.

PhilCare seeks to promote wellness because it believes that health is not only about being alive but more so in being well. Its services seek to provide quality to life by guiding individuals and families to attain complete harmony of mind and body. More and more people and companies are discovering the role of wellness in self-improvement and productivity. This would mean less days of being sick and more days to be productive in work and enjoying life to the fullest. Signing up with PhilCare means becoming part of comprehensive and well-rounded health care initiatives and wellness programs.

The PhilCare360 Program

In a bid to take health care a notch higher, PhilCare has recently introduced its total wellness program called the PhilCare360. The program offers individual clients a passport to leading healthier and more productive lives. It gives special attention to providing the right health coverage for individuals and families.

Aside from the health care benefits that come with the package, the program will likewise provide for total wellness intervention through plug-and-play events, activities, and sessions. These are all intended to jumpstart, motivate, support, and sustain a company’s wellness initiative.

My Say

As a parent who still has two very young kids to take care of, I can readily appreciate the value of being healthy and well. How am I supposed to look after their well-being if I do not take care of myself? The PhilCare wellness box I received yesterday is a timely reminder for me to slow down and pay more attention to my personal wellness towards achieving better health.

I am seriously intending to make this a starting point in my long-standing intention of being a healthier me. That much I owe to myself and my family.
