History
1950s and 1960s
In 1950, a maternity clinic and pharmacy was established at the corner of Maria Clara and Don Quijote streets in Dimasalang, Manila. The 12-bed clinic was founded by Dr. Ramon Diokno Atienza Jr. and Dr. Felicidad Ferriols Calip.
In 1963, a two-storey hospital was built, increasing capacity to 50 beds. Later, it was expanded into a five-storey building, raising capacity to 150. An eight-storey college building was built at about the same time.
On October 28, 1968, the School of Nursing was officially established. It was named after St. Jude Thaddeus as October 28 is the Feast Day of St. Jude.[2]
1970s to present
The first class graduated from the school in 1971. The school board approved a resolution to convert St. Jude School of Nursing into a college in 1973 and in 1974 a government permit officially granted the change of status. In 1977, two more buildings were constructed: the High School and what became the main building. In 1978, a three-storey elementary school was added.
In the late 1980s, a further building was inaugurated. It now houses the college of Physical Therapy.
