-==History==
-===Beginnings===
-For 40 years since its conception as a private hospital, the John F. Cotton Hospital had been labeled as the healthcare custodian of Manila Electric Company employees.  It was a tertiary hospital that catered medical and health care needs to employees.<ref name=Meralco/>  Its fair market value was estimated to be at P5,519,190 in March 2003.<ref name=ERCgov>[http://www.erc.gov.ph/pdf/573_DISPOSITIVE.pdf John F.

-===Transformation===
+[[Category:Vallès Occidental]]
-The JFCH was formally transformed into a Corporate Wellness Center (CWC) on [[September 16]], [[2004]] in order to continue securing the welfare and well being of Meralco’s 5,000 employees.  The change was enacted by Manuel M. Lopez, the chairman and chief executive officer of Meralco, and was designed to prolong the vision of Lopez’s father, Eugenio Lopez, Sr., and is in line with the company's policy of securing the welfare and well-being of its personnel.  The change also put into use a new concept in employee healthcare, which is preventive rather than curative.  The edifice of the new Corporate Wellness Center was officially inaugurated on [[July 20]], [[2005]].<ref name=Benpres/><ref name=Meralco>[http://www.meralco.com.ph/Business/invest/files/annual_2005b.pdf John F.

-===Implementation===
-The result of the implementation of the change resulted to the outsourcing of John F. Cotton Hospital’s in-patient services to The Medical City, a hospital in close proximity to the Meralco headquarters.  This outsourcing of in-patient services to The Medical City, allowed the center to place more attention on preventive measures rather than curative programs, resulting to decreased health care costs and increase in company productivity.<ref name=Meralco/>  Despite the change, the center still focuses on medical services that include outpatient services and the promotion of healthy living among employees.  The goals of the center also  include the promotion of lifestyle changes, efficient health maintenance, and the provision of an integrated and holistic approach to total health care and promotion, which also covers nutrition, medical, physical, spiritual and social, and psychological and emotional aspects of employee wellness.<ref name=Meralco/><ref name=Lopez/>
-===Facilities===

In addition to this, the company itself operates  42 canteens throughout its franchise area.  The current set-up as a corporate wellness center provides well-rounded healthcare program for Meralco’s staff which includes programs for occupational health disease prevention and control, wellness promotion and education.  Its services are compartmentalized into three major areas: basic corporate health, corporate wellness, and corporate social responsibility.<ref name=Benpres/><ref name=Lopez>[http://www.lopezgroup.org/lgfi/mdgHome.asp?mdg=HEALTH John F.
