DLS-HSC Logo
- Cross: This symbolizes the Christian faith and a living relationship with God.
- Star: The five-pointed radiant star is the worldwide symbol of the De La Salle Brothers. It symbolizes the star of Bethlehem that led the wise men of the east to Jesus Christ as the institution will lead and guide the people to the highest quality of life.
- Human Head: This symbolizes the humanitarian approach in serving the community and the maxim of the institution “Nurturing people through healing, teaching and research”. It also represents the HSC people who serve as dynamic catalysts for ethical, spiritual, social and economic transformation of the individual, community and country.
- Snake& Rod: The snake coiled around the rod symbolizes medicine and health care for all. From the book of Exodus, it was stated that anyone who will look up to the snake on the rod “shall be healed.” The institution will promote health through careful stewardship of resources, effective leadership, links with other institutions, and innovative community-oriented programs.
- Hands: The hands bind the institution together, to work zealously as one in an environment of mutual respect, fairness and love.
- Laurel & root: To achieve honor and glory, the institution aims to form Lasallian Achievers and Healers for God and country with the will to propagate values and knowledge among all social classes with particular focus on the poor (in consonance with the legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle).
- Book & Heart: The book signifies knowledge, understanding and excellence in health care services, health professions education and health–related researches. The heart symbolizes the pervading Lasallian character that is committed, compassionate, confident and competent.
The hands, root, leaves and shape of hands form the shape of a home that signifies a Lasallian living the Filipino Culture. The sphere represents the never-ending quest for relevant learning, competent teaching, and scientific inquiry producing socially responsible and nationalistic health professionals.
