Wedge Medical Center PC

Armando and Dr. Minda Magundayao migrated from the Philippines in 1975 with the vision of wanting to make a better life for themselves and their future family. Dr. Minda’s first goal was to obtain a United States medical license. After years of little pay and many obstacles along her way, she continued to persevere, completed medical residencies and passed state licensing to become the first American licensed doctor in her family.

The Wedge began seeing its initial clientele on a pro bono basis since, at the time, there were no existing contracts with insurance or managed care companies. Even after the roof collapsed and a threat of personal bankruptcy, the outlook of the Wedge Medical Center began to look more promising. The first contract was signed with Medco in November 1994, and they began to hire therapists. Initial funds were received in February of 1995, then South Wedge opened in mid-1995, later followed by Poplar. In 1998, Venango and Germantown opened. Logan opened in 2006, Juniper in 2007 and Wedge Frankford in 2010.

Today The Wedge employs over 200 staff members. Armand, Dr. Minda, Pat Palmer (CEO), and supporting management continue to remain dedicated to providing only the highest quality mental health and drug and alcohol services to those entrusted to its care.
