Many in the real estate industry have been exerting conscious effort in creating sustainable and green communities where people can live a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.
While the presence of establishments and institutions that can provide ease of living is without a doubt important, smart urban design and an ample amount of nature are also necessary especially in attracting more investors and residents.
Take for example Filinvest City. It has green, open spaces that its residents, professionals and stakeholders can benefit in. Pocket gardens, bike lanes, natural bird habitats, tree-lined pathways and sprawling events grounds are built throughout the 244-ha property in the Metro South.
Residents and those who go to Filinvest City for work are encouraged to enjoy the outdoors and say goodbye to their sedentary lifestyle at the Spectrum Linear Park. Meanwhile, the Filinvest City Trails is a 9-km long playground for beginner and elite cyclists alike.
Filinvest City has also adopted sustainable measures in its thrust to be a greener, more eco-friendly development, including the deployment of FC 360 E-Jeeps. Those living and working in Filinvest City can easily commute and make their way around the property with less air and noise pollution.
Complementing Filinvest City’s drive to be a healthier and well-rounded community is MediCard Philippines Inc., which has a free-standing clinic at the Festival Supermall for many years now.
One of the country’s long-trusted health maintenance organizations, MediCard Festival Supermall has since expanded to a 973-sqm clinic, from its earlier space of 150 sqm—an expansion, which it attributed to the growing number of clients and care providers.
“MediCard aims to provide a comprehensive health care program for Filipinos,” said MediCard president Dr. Nicky S. Montoya. “With our bigger clinic here in Festival Supermall, we hope to accommodate more patients, provide solutions to their medical concerns and help them attain optimal health for life.”
The bigger space, indeed, has enabled the HMO to make room for more services.
MediCard’s Festival Supermall clinic offers consultations on various medical concerns. It also provides imaging, laboratory and ancillary diagnostics, including drug testing and spirometry. The facility is likewise available for pre-employment and annual physical exams and services that include pap smear, mammography, immunization, minor surgery, as well as physical therapy.
Aside from established clinical services, the newly renovated clinic now provides dental care, including tooth extraction, gum filling, oral prophylaxis, and light cure filling. It also offers an extensive range of non-invasive skin and body rejuvenation programs, including acne treatment, laser hair removal, skin whitening, and body slimming and contouring.
The MediCard Festival Supermall Clinic is located on the third level of the Festival Supermall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. To schedule an appointment or know more about its services, drop by the clinic from Mondays to Saturdays or call (02) 850-3209.
