The Lorma Channel

Founded in 1970 by  its first director Dr. Rufino L. Macagba Jr., the school was initially established to fill the need for a nursing school in support of the fast expanding then Lorma Hospital (now Lorma Medical Center).

He pushed forth this vision and endeavor through the  encouragement of the LORMA founders who were both doctor-educators  Dr. Rufino N. Macagba Sr. and Dra. Crispina Lorenzana-Macagba.

Aptly named Lorma to refer to the first syllable of the founder’s surname LORenzana and MAcagba, the school grew from a small nursing school to a higher education recognized as the region’s best performing school. With a solid record of recognitions received for its exemplary performance in the Board Examinations in paramedical courses including Nursing, Radiologic Technology and Physical Therapy since 1989 to present, LORMA continues to produce the greatest number of board topnotchers in the region.
