History
In June 1963, Medina College was founded in Ozamiz City by Dr. Rico Macan Medina, Sr. and his wife, Dr. Beatriz Crisostomo Medina.
The school became one of the region's leading institutions, especially in the fields of nursing and midwifery. After several years, the school created an expansion program, both for the purpose of accommodating the larger population and to cope with the demands of modern education.[2][3]
This expansion programme led to the establishment of a second Medina College in June 1984 in Sapang Dalaga, Misamis Occidental. Since then, the school has been catering students from the province and neighboring areas in Zamboanga Peninsula and Northern Mindanao regions.[2]
