Background & HISTORY
Twelve years ago, The Ruth Foundation was born out of a heartfelt vision: to bring dignity, hope, and compassionate care to those navigating life-limiting illnesses. Since our inception, we have remained a trusted institution, proudly accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). What began as a humble initiative has grown into a vital source of support for palliative care for patients of all ages—children, men, women, and older adults—each deserving of comfort and respect during their journey.
Our TRF family has flourished from a small team of three to a dedicated group comprising full-time staff, consultant physicians, part-time staff, and a network of passionate volunteers whose commitment strengthens everything we do.
Since 2012, we have been privileged to serve patients and families through a total of 30,839 Care Encounters broken down into…
15,177 Nurse Visits
4,890 Social Care Services
2,029 Physical Therapy Sessions
3,730 Doctor Consultations
1,647 Emotional, Spiritual, and Family Counseling
3,366 Massage Therapist Interventions
In doing so, we have cared for 1,074 patients and their families. We’ve seen patients less than a year old to 108 years old. We’ve cared for a patient as long as 10 years and 10 months and for another as short as 10 hours.
