| Jun Anthony V. Quion, MD, FACC It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice. – Jose Rizal |

Manila University is notable for consistent academic achievement
awards. Described by one of his science professors at University

Not one to rest on his academic laurels, he was active member of the Phi Kappa Mu Fraternity.
Even then, he volunteered in medical missions and was at EDSA during first EDSA revolution in
the volunteer medical brigade.
After graduation from medical school, Jun left for the United States where his family immigrated
in 1990. He was accepted in the competitive internal medicine residency program of the Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston Texas. There he spent another year in research on Lipids and
Atherosclerosis, under the preeminent Dr. Antonio Gotto . He pursued further training in
Cardiovascular Medicine and Interventional Cardiology at the University of Connecticut. He
currently practices at the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute in Fairfax Virginia
After 11 years of courtship, he married his college sweetheart, Nathalie Bernabe, with whom he
has 4 sons, Justin, Alexander, Christopher, Patrick and one daughter, Katherine.
MAN OF VISION
Despite a busy medical career and an active family life, Jun has made it a priority to give back to
the community. He has served in various functions for the Philippine Medical Association, Ateneo
de Manila Alumni Association and most significantly as the President of the local chapter of the
University of the Philippines Alumni Association. Under his dynamic leadership, the alumni
association grew, attracted younger members and more than doubled its fundraising. He
focused on creating endowment funds for junior faculty development for the university.
Subsequently, UPAADCMDVA remains a prominent socio civic organization in the Metropolitan DC
area.
MAN OF INTEGRITY
As a leader he is known for his transparency, his emphasis on the common good and the
adherence to principles. The clarity and singularity of purpose are also trademarks. What is also
noteworthy is his ability to carry this out with ease, wit and zest. Known to be vocal about his
views, he takes a stand on issues, including advocating for Filipino physicians in the Desperate
Housewives debacle.
MAN FOR OTHERS
A supportive husband, protective father, dutiful son, dependable friend and brother, Jun is
known to always lend a helping hand. He continues to volunteer in health fairs, medical
missions and health education campaigns. A compassionate physician, he is known to visit
patients on his day off to share his “Quionisms” and even cheer them with his own brand of
humor.
