Integrated health hub partners with iCare HMO expanding metro access

Kalix, an integrated multi-specialty healthcare facility based in Exxa Tower at Bridgetowne, Quezon City, has secured formal accreditation with iCare HMO to expand healthcare coverage for insured members across Metro Manila.

Under the partnership announced, eligible iCare policyholders gain access to primary and specialized medical consultations, diagnostic and laboratory testing, physical therapy, executive health checkups, and seasonal vaccinations at the Bridgetowne facility.

The name "Kalix" combines the Filipino word "kalusugan" (health) with "ix" for intelligent experience, reflecting the clinic's digital-first patient management system.

Media personality Bimby Aquino, newly appointed brand ambassador for iCare, toured the Exxa Tower facility on Tuesday, alongside members of his household to review the clinic's diagnostic and consultation workflows.

"Everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, and I’m happy to see iCare and Kalix working together to make that easier for more Filipinos," Aquino said during the visit.

Executive leadership from both organizations noted that the accreditation aims to consolidate fragmented medical services—combining clinical care, lab work, and administrative clearance into a single venue.

"Having Kalix in our accredited network gives iCare members another option where they can experience a wide range of healthcare services quickly and conveniently in one place," said Geronimo V. Francisco, president and chief executive officer of iCare.

Hazel Banas, global vice president of people solutions at Concentrix and executive sponsor for Kalix, stated that the Bridgetowne site represents the initial phase of a broader urban network rollout.

Kalix plans to open additional health hubs at Ayala North Exchange in Makati City and near the UP Technohub in Quezon City by early 2027.
