On April 6, 2026, a tree-planting ceremony marked the launch of MJH’s 120th year, symbolizing growth, renewal, and its enduring commitment to a faith centered care. The activity highlighted not only environmental stewardship but also the deeper mission of the institution—serving as a healing ministry grounded in faith.

With the support of Adonai’s Mercy House Foundation and Dr. Lalie Pablo, Mcfrancis Pierre Flores, was admitted to the Pediatric Oncology Ward of Mary Johnston Hospital last January 27, 2025.  Mcfrancis had a rash on his body and liquid gushing out from his ears last year, his mother shared. They decided to consult with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor and dermatologist. The rash had blood clots, and they were advised to have the rash biopsied. The results confirmed Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare illness of a cell build-up in a human body which damages tissue and forms tumors. Both of his parents were devastated as they initially thought that it was a simple skin allergy. Thankful to the hospital, especially to the dedicated and kind health workers, and to Adonai’s Mercy House Foundation for providing a comfortable healing space for their son’s treatment, their family continues to ask for prayer and support as they prevail in this challenge “We are positive that we can surpass this challenge through faith”, his father shared. They have started the necessary treatment and medications under the expertise of Dr. Lalie Pablo. Today, he will undergo his fifth session of chemotherapy. His parents hope for positive progress and development in the coming days.
