The inspiration behind the establishment of the Center for Healthcare Professions (CHP) comes from the belief that the start of the new millennium may well be known as the "Age of the Healthcare Provider" in that the demand for healthcare workers is seen to grow tremendously for the next few decades. The founder, Dr. Carlo S. Ynion, envisioned a human resource organization that would attend to the needs of healthcare professionals thereby enabling them to pursue productive careers. Together with his loving wife, Dr. Caroline C. Ynion, supportive father-in-law, Dr. Cenon R. Cruz, and some close family and friends, the Center for Healthcare Professions, Inc. was born.

Profound changes have started to occur all over the world, as the elderly are becoming a major part of the population. The prolonged life expectancy and the changing lifestyles and role of women in society have resulted in a distinctly increasing demand for caregivers and other healthcare workers. Canada, with its Live-In Caregiver Program, is the first country to have specifically laid out requirements for those who want to work as caregivers. It is expected however, that many industrialized countries like the United States and those in Europe and Asia, would subsequently develop their own distinct pathways that would pave the entry of foreign caregivers.

We believe in foundational values such as vision, positive attitude, passion, fairness, integrity, hard work and determination. We believe that actualization of these values result in true success.

We believe that in order to be on the leading edge of service and development, we must be innovative, effective and efficient, responsive and proactive in our daily activities.

We believe in the power of information and knowledge and more so in its application and practice.

We believe in the resultant concepts of output, competence and dynamism.

We believe in the pursuit of excellence through continuous improvement, speed and simplicity of action.

As this is going on, the Center for Healthcare Professions is working towards building strategic alliances with both local and foreign companies. Through its Work Assistance Program, CHP has recently finalized an agreement with a local agency that facilitates caregiver immigrants to the United States. This agency gives Preferred Status to CHP students over applicants from other schools who decide to apply. CHP is also currently in talks with other agencies that could pave the way for employment in Canada and Japan.

Because of the expertise and strategic involvement of the people behind the Center for Healthcare Professions, particularly in the medical and paramedical fields, it is not difficult for the organization to conceptualize a certain program or address a particular healthcare professional need. It sees itself as a major participant in creating the standards of professionalism among the many as well as the emerging fields of healthcare.

In fact, Nursing Aide and Practical Nursing courses starting June of 2005 as a response to the opportunities open to these professionals in the United States. The possibility of putting up degree programs in Nursing is not remote. Other courses that are being lined up for possible introduction include:

1. Caregiver Course for Japanese Elderly
2. Medical Transcription
3. Alternative Medicine courses like Massage Therapy and Reflexology

1. Geriatric Nursing Assistant Training Program
2. Caretaker Course
3. Basic Emergency Care

As an education and training institution, CHP has the capability to conduct review classes for nurses who want to take foreign licensure exams as well as review classes for English proficiency exams like IELTS, TOEFL and TSE. With a pool of expert instructors, it is also capable of conducting Japanese language classes designed for all levels of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
