Iloilo Mission Hospital (also referred to as Mission Hospital, Mission or IMH) is a private tertiary, training and teaching hospital located in Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines. It was established in 1901 by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Hall, missionaries of the Presbyterian Foreign Mission Board, and has the distinction as the first Protestant founded and American hospital in the Philippines (Second American Hospital in Asia after the Canton Hospital in China). The hospital pioneered the Nursing Education in the Philippines through the establishment of the Union Mission Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1906, the present day Central Philippine University College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences.
Iloilo Mission Hospital serves as the university hospital of Central Philippine University. It operates independently from Central Philippine University but its board of trustees is largely composed of members from the CPU board of trustees and is administered solely by personnels from the university. Iloilo Mission Hospital predates CPU founding by four years.
