Wyeth’s Progress Pre-School Gold continues to reinforce its commitment to child care by helping mothers provide their kids not only with superior nutrition but medical care as well. Sharing the same dedication in promoting health among mothers and children, Wyeth’s Progress Pre-School Gold recently joined hands with Healthway to provide families with improved access to superior maternal and child health care services.

From May 1 to July 31, 2010, mothers who purchase Progress Pre-School Gold will get free Healthway cards that offer a wide range of services and benefits. With the card, moms can bring their children to any Healthway and take advantage of free unlimited consultations from family medicine physicians, one (1) free pediatric consultation, 15% discount on laboratory and diagnostic procedures, dental services and imaging services (except orthodontics and aesthetic services), and 10% discount on vaccines. With the combination of good nutrition and free health services, mothers get more value from each purchase of Progress Pre-School Gold. “Healthway believes in the high quality of Progress Pre-School Gold,  a drink supplement specifically designed for pre-school children. Parents always want the best for their children which is how they express their love. Healthway wishes to reward this act through Alagang Healthway card that packs in benefits uniquely designed for maternal and child health.” says Joven A. Alcala, Business Development Manager for Health cards.

“Wyeth staunchly advocates the need to support good nutrition with health check-ups to help moms best take care of their children, ” says Ricky Espinosa, Wyeth Group Product Manager. “Through this partnership, we will be able to provide parents and their kids with the gift of healthcare and ensure that children stay healthy as they grow up.”

Kate Cruz, Healthway Marketing Manager, recognizes the partnership’s significance in promoting maternal and child health. “The tie-up underscores our individual and common commitments to maternal and child health, which are imperative in the country’s developmental context. Through this, we are able to combine the strength of both companies – Wyeth’s unassailable reputation as a leading manufacturer of quality health products and Healthway’s vigorous advocacy for a preventive and healthy lifestyle.”

In the Philippines, Wyeth is the leading provider of quality nutritional products for infants and young children, while Healthway has been offering quality medical services since 1997. Together, they bring more than 70 years healthcare authority and experience to Filipino families through their joint project.

Tie up toward a better future: From left to right: Marmie Liquigan, World Vision’s direct marketing associate; Carmie De Leon, Healthway’s vice president; Jun Godornes, World Vision’s business development manager; Joven Alcala, Healthway’s business card development manager.

Healthway announced recently that as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, the company will give P1.00 to World Vision for every Healthway Card sold. This is part of Healthway’s Medical mission of giving back to the community, as well as their response to World Vision’s advocacy of rearing the child laborer into a child leader through values formation through education.

World Vision is an international humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide. Among its programs, child sponsorship has received overwhelming support, from nineteen thousand individuals and counting. Moreover, two-thirds of the sponsored children are funded by our fellow Filipinos. The sponsorships distinct characteristic is to establish a unique bond, developing a deep connection between a sponsor/donor and a poor child. It brings the reality of fighting poverty up close as sponsors see how their kind-hearted contributions make a difference to the lives in the poor communities.

Healthway cards thus represent a similar relationship between these children and the cardholders, who not only gain access to health care and a preventive lifestyle but also provide the chance of a better future for some children.

“This reinforces Healthway’s reputation as a good and generous company,” says Joven Alcala, Healthway business development manager for health cards. “The partnership lives up to our alagang pamilya, alagang Healthway brand of service. We also want our clients to be involved. By buying the Healthway cards, they are also helping us grow our funds for the children. Healthway cards will now not only provide an opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle but also extend care by helping World Vision to raise funds for the education of the underprivileged Filipino children,” Alcala added.

Jun Godornes, World Vision’s marketing manager said, “Healthway has been a long-time health service provider to World Vision staff. We are delighted that it has expanded its business partnership to social responsibility partnership. We thank the management of Healthway for paying it forward through this cause-related marketing initiative.”

Healthway’s CSR efforts through this World Vision partnership will have a ripple effect on the communities where these children live. The partnership with World Vision in the Philippines also means partnership with the local and international community of child sponsors who are supporting more than 120, 000 Filipino children to date, and 2.7 million children around the world. This gives a positive impression while encouraging positive values among Healthway’s stakeholders.

Healthway Medical through its membership cards recently signed an agreement with COCOPLANS. The partnership not only gives COCOPLANS policy holders a secured future but also an opportunity to a healthier lifestyle through The Healthway cards bundled in their plans.

For Lourdes Advincula, winning a 32” LCD TV is a dream since she has been meaning to purchase one for her daughter’s bedroom but never got around to doing it.

A letter from Healthway Medical, however, convinced the housewife from Project 8 Quezon City that her dream has turned into reality. The letter stated that she had won a 32” Samsung LCD TV that she could claim at Healthway’s main office in Makati.

“Hindi ko inexpect na mananalo ako. It just so happened na kailangan ko na i-renew yung card ko. I’m using the Alagang Healthway card now kasi it best fits my needs. I also bought your other membership cards for my kids. I find it convenient to use kasi. Aside from the unlimited free check-ups, may discounts pa sa laboratory tests. That’s why I also recommended it to my friends,” she said.

Asked how she became a patron of Healthway, Mrs. Advincula stated that since Healthway is situated near her place, the convenience of going to the mall-based clinic, coupled with its complete equipment and better packages made her a loyal supporter of Healthway since 2002.

Luck as it may be called, but good things do really happen to loyal Healthway customers like Mrs. Advincula.

Just like her, other loyal customers who received their rewards are:

2nd Prize – Nurture Spa Ulayaw Package (for 2)

Janice Gagante

3rd Prize – Samsung DVD Player

Carina Del Rosario

According to the World Health Organization,  around 15 million people worldwide suffer from stroke yearly. Five million die from it and another five million are permanently disabled.

Most strokes occur without any warning signs or symptoms. One effective way to assess your risk of having a stroke is the carotid ultrasound exam.

A carotid ultrasound is done to evaluate your risk of stroke. Risk factors that might make you a candidate for a carotid ultrasound include:

* Being age 55 or older
* Smoking
* Family history of stroke, carotid artery disease, or heart disease
* Having diabetes
* Having high blood pressure

Avoid the dangers of stroke. Have your Carotid ultrasound at Healthway Medical.
