Luxecare opened its sixth branch today at PITX, marking six years of delivering premium, inclusive healthcare for trans Filipinos and the LGBTQIA+ community. The launch brought together key leaders, partners, and advocates, including Luxecare CEO Raymund Mejorada, Managing Director Neithan Cebrano, and LoveYourself Inc. Executive Director Dr. Ronnievin Pagtakhan and Brand Ambassador Markki Stroem, who are all celebrating a clinic designed for safe, stigma-free, client-centered care.
Walking into the PITX branch, the energy is immediately welcoming. The space isn’t just a clinic, it’s a statement of care and accessibility. Consultation rooms, testing areas, and wellness stations are designed for comfort and dignity, with attention to every detail reflecting Luxecare’s philosophy of “iniingatan, inaalagaan, at inaasikaso.” Conversations buzzed around the launch event, where experts discussed health services, community empowerment, and the importance of creating affirming spaces.
The branch offers a full range of services, from free HIV and STI testing to gender-affirming hormone therapy consultations in partnership with LoveYourself Inc., as well as PrEP and PEP prophylaxis and e-consultations. Each service is delivered with care and professionalism, ensuring clients feel respected, supported, and safe throughout their visit.
Panel discussions during the launch emphasized the community impact of inclusive wellness. Markki Stroem spoke on collaboration between institutions, brands, and advocates, while Dr. Pagtakhan and Luxecare’s medical team highlighted the transformative effect of accessible healthcare, particularly for trans Filipinos navigating medical systems that often overlook their needs.
The PITX branch also reflects Luxecare’s strategic approach: placing clinics in accessible locations that allow clients from different areas to easily reach quality care. More than expansion, it’s a step toward normalizing inclusive, affirming health services and creating spaces where every visitor feels seen and valued.
The event ended on a celebratory note, marking not only six years of Luxecare’s growth but also a commitment to ongoing innovation, client-centered care, and meaningful impact for the LGBTQIA+ and PLHIV communities.
The new PITX branch stands as a beacon of progress—a safe space for wellness, empowerment, and self-care. (with reports from Lau Balocos)
