    Region 1 Medical Center, originally known as Pangasinan General Hospital (PGH), also referred to as Pangasinan Provincial Hospital (PPH), was established on August 29, 1925 under the administration of Pangasinan Provincial Governor Don Teofilo Sison. The building was erected in a lot donated by the governor in the town of Dagupan which became a chartered city on June 20, 1947. (Dagupan City is now a first class city and has progressed to become not only a bustling commercial and educational metropolis, but also as a center of modern medical services in Northern Luzon.)The hospital was envisioned to be at the forefront in providing quality healthcare services to the people north of Manila. The current Medical Center Chief has strategically planned to develop the Region 1 Medical Center to a potential competitor as ‘quality’ health care provider at par with the Medical Centers in Metro Manila and neighboring private hospitals. The administration ventured on Infrastructure improvement, Equipment upgrading, and Manpower Training and Research Development.
