History

The Philippine College of Health Sciences, Inc. (PCHS) was created on February 1, 1993, the birthday of its first President and chief executive officer (CEO), Dr. George C. Cordero.

The School was conceived as complementary to Dr. Cordero's review center, the Institute of Review and Special Studies, popularly known as the INRESS REVIEW Center. The first PCHS location was a 3-story rented building with 10 classrooms, which was located on Coromina St., along Claro M. Recto Avenue, Manila. Dr. Cordero received his investiture as president in 1996.

PCHS opened its doors in June 1994 with 124 students. The first baccalaureate courses it offered were in Nursing, in Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Radiologic Technology and Psychology. They also offer associate degrees in Radiologic Rechnology (A.R.T) and Graduate in Midwifery (G.M). Its post-graduate courses include Master of Arts in nursing (M.A.N), Master of Arts in education (M.A.E.d), Master of Public Administration (M.P.A), Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). In the following years its student population exceeded one thousand, and it almost reached three thousand student enrollments.

Dr. Cordero transferred to his newly acquired building, the Doña Narcisa Building, along Quezon Boulevard. PCHS is trying to purchase the defunct College of Holy Spirit in Mendiola for a more spacious campus.
