Two years later, in 1958 the school was established, initiated by Sr. Alicia Ongsuco, D.C. and Sr. Paula Vargas, D.C. together with a group of doctors, nurses, midwives and other educators.

Due to the consistent increase in enrollment and new demands for future health professionals, a three-year Graduate Nurse (G.N) Program was opened in June 1963 through the initiative of Sr. Ricarda Mendoza, D.C.

In the following years, as the school continued to grow, another course Liberal Arts, major in Sociology, was opened in June 1975 by Sr. Aniana Matalote, D.C. Sr. Norma Ysaac, D.C. moved to phase out the three-year G.N.

St. Anthony College of Roxas City Hospital, located at San Roque Extension, is a non-profit, non-stock health institution owned and managed by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.

Having given his blessings for the project, the Most Reverend Antonio F. Frondosa, D.D., former Bishop of Capiz sought the assistance of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.
