• History

    The Ramiro Community Hospital evolved from the frontier practice of Dr. Luther Z. Ramiro who first came to Bohol in 1954 from his native Cagayan de Oro. He joined the Graham Memorial Hospital as a resident physician honing his God-given gift of service in treating the sick. When the Memorial Hospital folded in 1959, he joined the practice of Dr. Nelson D. Rio who later founded the Bohol Medical Center (BMC) in 1960 at the Maceren Building along Gallares Street.
    In 1971, Dr. Luther and his wife, Dinah Lumain-Ramiro, took over the reins of BMC. Mrs. Ramiro had to give up her teaching career to work full time in the hospital. Mrs. Ramiro later specialized in hospital administration and took up several courses which included personnel management, finance & accounting, medical records management, waste management & housekeeping.

    		 Two wings were added on to the existing building expanding its service capability and increasing the authorized bed capacity to 100.

    		 The torch of leadership was passed on to the eldest daughter, Dr. Audrey soon after Dr Luther joined his creator, but she, too passed on a few months later in 2017. Despite the sudden turn of events for the family, the legacy of their late father Dr. Luther, was carried on by his youngest son, Norman L. Ramiro.

     
    In 2020
