The event was led by ActivCare’s Managing Director, Ricky Rosales, and Assistant Medical Director, Dr. Rhea Angelica P. Jayma, whose leadership underscored the company’s commitment to advancing high-quality, compassionate care.
This immersion program, facilitated at ActivCare’s facility, provided 41 healthcare participants and 4 facilitators with the unique opportunity to engage directly with a high-functioning palliative care team.
