BLOOD DONATION DRIVE

On February 29, 2024, LPU Davao held its community extension, the Blood Donation Drive, at the SHL Hall of LPU Davao Campus. This activity would not have been possible without the support of our dear partners: LPU Davao College of Health Sciences, LPU-D College Red Cross Youth, and DOH: Sub-National Blood Center Mindanao.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the blood donors. Let us save lives by donating blood.

COMMUNITY EXTENSION

“𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐧: 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!”

The BSMT 2nd Year students of the Lyceum of the Philippines – Davao took to the streets, not just to learn, but to lead in Community and Public Health.

Through dedicated house-to-house interviews, they’ve uncovered the pulse of the community’s health needs. With their hearts and minds set on making a difference, they’ve launched the Flood-borne Diseases Awareness and Prevention program, directly addressing the challenges they have discovered. This journey wasn’t just about education; it was about action, impact, and building a healthier tomorrow together.

The students touched lives and fortified the health of a community they now hold dear. Together, they’ve crafted a future where every home is a beacon of wellness and resilience.

One month, one purpose – to uplift and prevent ‘Flood-borne Diseases’.

Real-world lessons, real impact!

SYMPOSIUM ON ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP AND HEALTH EDUCATION

On February 16, 2024, the Counseling and Testing Center and the Medical Services Office of LPU Davao hosted a symposium on the Romantic Relationships and Health Education for our Lycean students, faculty, and staff.

Lyceans gained valuable insights during the discussion on love, relationships, and HIV awareness and prevention. The engaging sessions provided a platform for learning, ensuring that each attendee would gain a deeper understanding of these crucial aspects, empowering them to make informed choices for a positive and healthy life.

LPU Davao extends its gratitude to Ms. Imma Concepcion V. Oani, RGC, RPm, and Mr. Patrick Daison Albit, RN, MAN, for their contributions as resource speakers in the event.
