History

St. Luke's was established in October 1903 by American Episcopalian missionaries as a charity ward and dispensary hospital led by retired bishop Charles Henry Brent. St. Luke's started out as the Dispensary of St. Luke the Beloved Physician, a fully free outpatient clinic for the poor in Calle Magdalena (now Masangkay Street) in Tondo, Manila. [5] It also supports and conducts medical, dental and surgical missions in rural areas.

The 30-bed University Hospital would be inaugurated on October 23, 1907. The bed capacity was increased to 52 three years later. [6]

In 1912, the University Hospital would be renamed as St. Luke's Hospital to distinguish it from the University of the Philippines Hospital. [6]

The health facility would move to Quezon City in 1961. [5]

It was transformed into an independent, non-sectarian, non-stock, non-profit corporation in the 1975. [6]

St. Luke's Medical Center would open its second hospital at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig in 2010. [7]
