Just a year in the foundation, Angeles and her team renovated the very first Felicidad Sy Pediatric Ward at the East Avenue Medical Center, pursuing the vision of making people change the way they think, feel, and behave towards health facilities.
With Angeles at the helm of the Health and Wellness pillar, SM Foundation has renovated more than 170 health and wellness centers and served over one million patients during its medical missions to date.
