The Municipality of New Lucena has once again achieved a milestone in public service excellence after being recognized as one of the Department of Health (DOH) Healthy Workplace National Awardees 2026. This prestigious recognition affirms the municipality's commitment to creating a workplace that values the health, safety, and well-being of its employees while delivering quality public service to the people.

        A healthy workplace goes beyond maintaining clean offices. It reflects an organizational culture that promotes physical wellness, mental health, occupational safety, and a supportive work environment where employees can thrive. By investing in the welfare of its workforce, the Municipality of New Lucena demonstrates that excellent public service begins with empowered and healthy public servants.

        This achievement is the result of the collective efforts of our Municipal Mayor, Atty. Carl Vincent G. Mondejar, CPA, Dr. Ma. Cristina S. Reala, Municipal Health Officer and RHU, and municipal employees, and partner agencies who continuously work together to uphold the highest standards of governance and employee welfare. Their dedication has transformed workplace wellness into a shared responsibility and a source of organizational pride.

       The recognition also strengthens the vision of UNA New Lucena—a local government that champions responsive, innovative, and people-centered governance. As the municipality continues to pursue excellence, this award serves as both a celebration of what has been accomplished and a motivation to achieve even greater milestones in the years ahead.

       To every employee, stakeholder, and resident who has contributed to this success, thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we will continue fostering a healthier workplace, a stronger organization, and a more progressive New Lucena.

        Congratulations to the entire Municipality of New Lucena on this well-deserved national recognition!
