Tebow Cure Hospital Opened in Davao

“TIM has set a heart for this country for a long time. And as soon as he could start a foundation back in 2010, the one thing he do is we would have a passion, heart, love and put our money behind the country of the Philippines. And so this project to me is a symbol of our mission statement which is to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. This hospital is a symbol of a family’s love for the Philippines.”

With CURE President and CEO Dale Brantner, USAID Mission Director Gloria Steele, Steve Perry of Sacred Harvest Foundation, Mayor Rodrigo Duterte’s representative, some representatives of the Tim Tebow Foundation, the Tebow family, the U.S. Embassy, and the Department of Health Philippines representative, the Tebow Cure Hospital has opened in J.P. Laurel Avenue, Davao City last May 1, 2015. A project of Tim Tebow Foundation, the hospital offers orthopedic surgeries for children with clubfoot, bowed legs, cleft palate, and other spinal deformities.

“We are partners to create healing, together to give physical healing in the name of Jesus to the very deserving people. We will continue to pray for this hospital, this country, the people, the staff of the hospital to continue healing people to this country,” says President/ Executive Director of Tim Tebow Foundation Erik Dellenback.

Parent of an inborn clubfoot patient Dina Anasmamites proved that the hospital is a miracle to her child in which admitted last April 29, 2015 with a bill range of 2,500 pesos only. She was so happy seeing the result of her child’s fast healing.

The hospital’s construction was started since 2012 but started accepting patients since November 2014 and now ready to accept more. Currently, the five-storey hospital has 3 operating rooms, 30 beds, and has 54 staff, all ready to provide care to children. (Ayanna Fu Baclia-an)
