In order to facilitate the services to students and personnel, different offices are activated through (LAN) Local Area Networking. The automated Daily Time Record of employees is now active.
VMUF, founded by Dr. Martin P. Posadas and Dr. Rosalina Quebral Posadas, traces its roots to the Posadas Medico-Dental Clinic, which was devoted to charity patients, with only a 10-bed capacity. It grew into a 75-bed capacity medical building. The first course offered in 1958 in the adjoining school was midwifery, then the first of its kind north of Manila.
