Tagaytay Medical Center has opened the TagaytayMed Urgent Care Center, expanding access to medical services for patients with urgent but non-life-threatening conditions. The facility began operations on 3 May 2026 and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The urgent care center caters to patients classified under Emergency Severity Index (ESI) Levels 4 and 5, providing consultation and treatment for common conditions such as fever, cough and colds, sore throat, minor wounds, sprains, mild infections, allergies, stomach pain, skin conditions, and other illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention. Patients also have access to the hospital's diagnostic and ancillary services when needed.

According to the hospital, the new facility is intended to help decongest the Emergency Department by handling less critical cases, allowing emergency personnel to focus on patients with life-threatening conditions while improving overall hospital efficiency.

"Healthcare should be available when patients need it most. Through TagaytayMed Urgent Care, we are expanding access to prompt, compassionate, and quality healthcare for our community," said Renato Castañeda, president of Tagaytay Medical Center.

Tagaytay Medical Center said the initiative forms part of its continuing efforts to make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and affordable while responding to the evolving needs of the communities it serves.
