La Trinidad is working to make its healthcare system more inclusive by combining traditional healing practices with modern medicine. Through a partnership between the Municipal Health Services Office and the DOH-CAR ITAHC Program, Mayor Roderick C. Awingan and Dr. Antonette P. Agpas have committed to a service model that respects complementary alternative medicine.

​Pursuant to RA 8423, also known as the Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act, the municipality aims to keep healthcare services such as maternal care and general check-ups—accessible and holistic. This method treats health as a balance of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being that aligns with community values. For the residents of La Trinidad, this transition provides a healthcare system that supports local identity while maintaining standard medical quality.
