Dr. George Ancheta Tumaneng

Dr. Tumaneng was born February 22, 1941, in Jones, Isabela, Philippines, the only son of the late Anastacio and Filomena (Ancheta) Tumaneng. He graduated with his Doctorate in Medicine from Far Eastern University College of Medicine in Manila. He immigrated to the United States and completed his internship at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. He then moved to Flint and completed his residency at Saint Joseph’s Hospital. Dr. Tumaneng married Myrna Basilio Ponce on June 20, 1970, at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Flint.

Dr. Tumaneng served the Flint community as a family practitioner in private practice in Genesee County for 41 years. He was a member of the Genesee County Medical Society, the Michigan State Medical Society, the Pilipino-American Association of Greater Flint, and the American Medical Association. He worked until his retirement at the age of 71. He was passionate about providing excellent health care for his patients and would have continued to practice medicine, had he not developed ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).
