UC-CON Student Nurses Participate in Community Circumcision Drive at Quirino Hill
Promoting equitable healthcare and hands-on learning through community service.
On June 25, 2024, the University of the Cordilleras College of Nursing (UC-CON) student nurses, under the supervision of Clinical Instructor Mr. Richard Danganan, joined “Operation Tuli,” a community circumcision drive held in Barangay Quirino Hill, Baguio City.
The initiative delivered free and essential healthcare services to local families, particularly indigent residents, helping address unmet medical needs while allowing student nurses to gain valuable clinical experience. This outreach highlights UC-CON’s enduring commitment to community engagement, preventive health, and service-based education, merging classroom learning with real-world compassion.
Through programs like Operation Tuli, UC-CON continues to develop nurses who exemplify competence, empathy, and social responsibility, contributing to healthier and more equitable communities.
