Makati, August 29, Tuesday – In a significant stride towards fostering holistic wellbeing and championing excellence, Healthway Medical Network (HMN) signs a partnership with the Ayala Center for Excellence in Sports (ACES) to support the athletes of the Atletang Ayala program. This landmark collaboration, rooted in HMN's commitment to "Care beyond Cure," aims to provide comprehensive health support to the national athletes of Atletang Ayala, empowering them in their pursuit of peak performance, both in their sports and in their corporate life.

Central to the program is the athlete’s access to the entire HMN network, leveraging the interconnected ecosystem of care that addresses every facet of an athlete's health journey. The program focuses on a deeper understanding of their individual health and wellness requirements to allow them to be the best in their chosen sport. Furthermore, the program provides a platform for research and development for advancements in athletic wellbeing, thereby directly contributing to the enhancement of overall performance.

“As a trailblazer in the healthcare industry, HMN continues to uphold its values of innovation and excellence. The partnership with ACES and Atletang Ayala further underscores our commitment to extend healthcare services and wellness programs tailored to the unique and often overlooked health needs of athletes. HMN's multidisciplinary approach aligns perfectly with ACES' dedication to cultivating excellence in sports while nurturing personal growth,” says Jimmy Ysmael, President, and CEO of Healthway Medical Network.
