Résumé
St. Anthony College, better known as St. Anthony College of Roxas City, is Catholic school in Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines. It is a non-profit, non-stock educational institution that is owned and managed by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. It is the only Catholic Institution in Northern Panay which offers health-related courses. The St. Anthony College of Roxas city works with St. Anthony Hospital. The hospital was founded in 1956 by Mr. and Mrs. Pio Bernas, with the help of Gaudencio Ortañez. Rev. Antonio Frondoza suggested asking the assistance of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. Two years later, in 1958 the school was established, initiated by Sr. Alicia Ongsuco, D.C. and Sr. Paula Vargas, D.C. together with a group of doctors, nurses, midwives and other educators. They began to teach young women midwifery. The curriculum included training in the skills of deliveries, patient and environmental care. In 1959, the school graduated its first 27 midwives. Milagros Dogillo-Lajo, one of its first graduates, topped the 1959 Midwifery Board examination. Due to the consistent increase in enrollment and new demands for future health professionals, a three-year Graduate Nurse (G.N) Program was opened in June 1963 through the initiative of Sr. Ricarda Mendoza, D.C. In the following years, as the school continued to grow, another course Liberal Arts, major in Sociology, was opened in June 1975 by Sr. Aniana Matalote, D.C. Sr. Norma Ysaac, D.C. moved to phase out the three-year G.N. program to introduce the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The Department of Education, Culture and Sports, granted it recognition on June 13, 1978 . With this new program, the name of the school was officially changed in 1980 to St. Anthony College of Roxas City. In 1994 the College offered two new courses: Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy and Health Aide; in 1998, Respiratory Therapy and Food Technology and in June 2003, the college opened a six-month Health Care Giver course.
