| Alice Nepomuceno Francisco, M.D. Ridgefield Park, New Jersey The Compleat Practitioner - Community Leader |
Highly professional, extremely hard-working and dedicated to the
needs of the less fortunate. These are just some of the
endearing qualities of Dr. Alice Nepomuceno Francisco, not only
to her fa mily, friends and co-workers, but significantly to the
Fil-Am Community in New Jersey, among whom she is held in
very high esteem and to the various individual and corporate
beneficiaries of her generosity. It is no wonder then that Alice is
one of this year's Twenty Outstanding Filipino-Americans in the
entire U.S.
But what is truly wonderful about Alice is that she has done a lot of
great things without the usual "palabas" or fanfare, inspite of her
stature as a highly-accomplished medical professional and
socio-civic leader.
Trained in St. Luke's Hospital, New York City, Alice is a Diplomate
in diagnostic radiology and was Director of Radiology at Harlem
Hospital (a Columbian University affiliate) from 1983-1985 and a
former attending radiologist of Bronx-Lebanon Hospital.
Currently, she shuffles her time among her three very busy
radiology clinics in Jew Jersey: The Wilton Radiology Associates
in Teaneck; the Holiday City Radiology Associates in Toms River;

and the Whiting X-Ray Clinic in Whiting. In a few months she will open what is envisaged to be the most
comprehensive and biggest Breat Diagnostic Imaging Center in the entire state of New Jersey, and possibly
in the Eastern Seaboard. Behind all these accomplishments is another side to Alice.
The cause of the under priviledged and the welfare of the handicapped are ones which she has consistently
championed in the last twenty years, albeit quietly, focusing her support on providing educational scholarship
and medical facilities assistance.
One grateful recipient organization wrote recently, "In behalf of Lubang-Looc International, we thank you for the
five college scholarships you are offering to financially disadvantaged students from Looc and Lubang. We
hope that your generosity, unpublicized as it is, will serve as an inspiration for other people to emulate." She
has also recently sponsored ten seminarians for the priesthood in various seminaries in the Philippines,
among them the San Carlos Seminary in Cebu City, and the Maryhill School of Theology in Quezon City.
There is also the long list of elementary, high school and vocational students attending the St. Martin Outreach
Program run by Dominican Sisters at the Sta. Catalina Convent in Quezon City.
Her untiring efforts have also afforded a number of fortunate handicapped youth with much-needed
wheelchairs, and transport facilities. Indeed, academic titles and social offices would hold no significance if
one were deaf to the needs of others. Alice has unselfishly extended her helping hand to the people back
home time and again, her organizational and leadership abilities have been relied upon by medical
colleagues and local socio-civic groups.
For the past 30 years, Alice has been active not only in the medical field but also in the Fil-Am organizations in
the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In fact, when there are problems besetting
these organizations, "Alice is always there to help," according to many of her friends and colleagues. Inspite
of her very active involvement in the Fil-Am Community, Alice is a non-controversial person, and this quality
truly made her a consistent favorite, particularly of the Philippine Consulate General in New York.
Alice is the newly elected President of the Bergen Phil-Am Lions Club of New Jersey. She served as Past
President for the last three years of the Phil-Am Jersey Lioness Club prior to their joining the Bergen Phil-Am
Lions Club. She is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Filipino Americans in
Bergen Couty, member of the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Association of Medical Societies of New
Jersey Foundation (PAMSNJ) and of the Good Samaritan Foundation. She also serves as adviser to the
Philippine Medical Association in America. She was also a former Hermana Mayor of the San Lorenzo Ruiz
Association in America; former member of the Board of Governors of the Association of Philippine Physicians
in America, and former member of the Legal Committee of the Bronx Medical Society.
Alice Nepomuceno Franciso graduated with distinction from the University of Sto. Tomas in the Philippines
and became an M.D. in 1960. Now, many years later, not only is she one of the finest among the best,
professionally, she is a valuable asset to her community.
On the homefront, Alice has much to boast about too as far as her family's personal accomplishments are
concerned and she is truly thankful for these blessings.
Alice is married to Aris Franciso, a New York attorney. They have four children: Christan, a graduate of
Fairleigh Dickinson University and presently an auditor of the Intercontinental Hotel in Manhattan, and married
to the former Ersylin Uriarte; Armel, a graduate of Columbia University and now with Prudential in New Jersey;
