First it was a dream. A young boy fantasized on building a medical institution that would cater to the health needs of his fellow Caviteños. He envisioned it to be the finest in the deliverance of health care services. It was indeed a very grand dream! But for a young boy who never had a chance of seeing his father due to an illness unattended and grew up under the care of his old grandfather who likewise was taken away from him due to lack of medication, his fantasy became a vision, his dream – A Promise.

He walked through life alone but full of wisdom and determination. Then he found a companion for life, Dominga his wife, who served as an inspiration and gave him strength to pursue his goals. He swore in his heart that all his dreams and success would pay tribute to the Lady’s name.

His offspring served as instruments for his masterwork. Eldest son Potenciano became a Surgeon. With courage and proper guidance, the Father and Son team put up what is known today as St. Ann General, Hospital in Lucena City, Jane County Hospital in Pagbilao, Quezon and Greg Hospital in Sariaya, Quezon that now boost off their endearing commitment to community service. St. Ann College of Lucena, Inc., a Nursing and Medical Science School is now grooming the future health workers of Quezon Province.

His second child Marita became an Obstetrician. It emboldened The Man to pursue his dreams. He built Hillside General Hospital in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, and a step closer to home. Hillside is positioned in challenging business battleground but the man was not caught empty handed, he had more siblings: Emiteria, Monte, and Lina who were ready to assist where strength and manpower were needed. Hillside takes pride in caring for the medical needs of workers of over sixty companies scattered along the South Expressway, Muntinlupa City, Paranaque City, Las Pinas City, San Pedro Laguna, Biñan Laguna, Carmona Cavite, Dasmarinas Cavite, Imus Cavite and Gen. Trias Cavite through its Industrial Medicine Division.

The Man stepped on his own ground – CAVITE – the only place he and his forebears had ever known. It will only be in Cavite where the final realization of his greatest dream will rise! Gregorio Jr. a doctor, his namesake and youngest child shall be Administrator of his proud accomplishment.

The Man built A Dream, fulfilled a Promise and paid tribute to the only woman of his life, DOMINGA, from whom SDMC has been named. His offspring who have perpetuated the lofty dream now welcome you to: ST. DOMINIC MEDICAL CENTER, INC.
