The company operating the hospital, GSIS Hospital, Inc. was dissolved on June 9, 1978 in pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 1411 issued by President Marcos, and transferred all of the assets of the company to the Ministry of Health and the hospital was renamed Ospital ng Bagong Lipunan.
The hospital was renamed again on November 12, 1986, by then Executive Secretary Joker P. Arroyo by authority of then President Corazon Aquino, to its current name through Memorandum Order No. 48. The Republic Act No. 8345 signed on June 4, 1997 increased the authorized bed capacity of the hospital from 350 to 600.
