Brokenshire College is a private, non-profit basic and higher education institution administered by the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) in Davao City, Philippines. It was founded in 1954 as the Brokenshire School of Nursing and now offers programs in health sciences, theology, business, teacher training, medicine, as well as vocational and K–12 education. The college also administers two satellite campuses: one in Toril, Davao City and another one in General Santos.
The college is named after the Brokenshire Memorial Hospital, which is in turn named after Herbert Cecil Brokenshire, who served as the hospital's director from 1926 until World War II.
History
In the 1900s, Protestant missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) established a small bamboo-and-nipa clinic along Magallanes Street by the banks of Davao River. The clinic later became the Davao Mission Hospital and was the first congregational hospital in Davao City. In 1926, Herbert Cecil Brokenshire from New York City became the hospital director. In his 14-year supervision, the hospital improved its facilities and services. Doctor Brokenshire later died in World War II as a prisoner of war. In 1947, the rebuilt hospital was renamed Brokenshire Memorial Hospital in his honor.{{cite news |last1=Figueroa |first1=Antonio |title=Fast Backward: Davao's First Mission Hospital |url=http://edgedavao.net/vantage-points/2017/02/07/fast-backward-davaos-first-mission-hospital/ |access-date=April 19, 2019 |publisher=Edge Davao |date=February 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190419105639/http://edgedavao.net/vantage-points/2017/02/07/fast-backward-davaos-first-mission-hospital/ |archive-date=April 19, 2019 |url-status=live }} The United Church Board for World Ministries (UCBWM){{refn|Due to the merger of the Congregational Christian Church and the Evangelical and Reformed Church to form the United Church of Christ, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) was merged with other missions to form United Church Board for World Ministries (UCBWM) |group=n}} later handed the administration of the hospital to the United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) in 1951.
