The University of Southern Mindanao has long stood as a visionary in agricultural and educational advancements. However, with the vast changes in the global landscape, it expanded its vision by establishing the College of Health Sciences (CHS)—serving as a frontier of the health sector and addressing its growing demands.

What began as a humble school clinic was transformed in 1980 by Jaman S. Imlan into a 50-bed hospital, establishing the foundation of a new era. This expansion later enabled Kundo E. Pahm to introduce the School of Midwifery in 1991.

With the surging demand for healthcare professionals, the university strengthened its commitment to health sciences in late 2003 by establishing the Bachelor of Science in Nursing through the collaborative efforts of then College of Arts and Sciences Dean Anita B. Tacardon, University President Virgilio G. Oliva, Vice President for Finance and Administration Dr. Palasig U. Ampang, the University Hospital staff, and the Board of Regents (BOR).

In 2004, with nearly 400 students, the program quickly expanded beyond its role as a department in the College of Arts and Sciences, budding a new chapter in its journey. By 2007, under the leadership of Geraldine J. Arendain, the department gained independence and became a full-fledged College committed to becoming a regional center of excellence in nursing education.

In 2011, the BOR officially renamed the former College of Nursing to the College of Health Sciences, reflecting its multidisciplinary direction under OIC Dean Emmalyn M. Mamaluba, and in the same year introduced the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in close collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences.

Today, the College of Health Sciences, on its 22nd founding anniversary, continues to serve its purpose in addressing the health demands of the country. With the leadership of CHS' dean Professor Carlo Dela Cruz, the institution’s excellence is reflected in its graduates—not only as frontliners, but also in cementing the university’s globally competitive standing.
