Riverside College is the brainchild of a man of vision - - Dr. Pablo Obregon Torre, Sr., who began his professional practice by setting up a family clinic in 1954.As his practice grew over the years, the clinic evolved into a full scale hospital - - the Riverside General Hospital which was administered with the assistance of the Carmelite nuns.Seeing the need for competent personnel to operate the hospital, Riverside College was established with the School of Midwifery in 1958 and the School of Nursing as initial non-baccalaureate course offerings.
