Hospiten has announced the winning entry in the "Design your Hospiten Menina" contest, an initiative created to encourage creativity and a sense of belonging among its professionals. The winning sculpture was designed by Dr. Nayid Olaya Alvarez, from the Emergency Department at Hospiten Lanzarote. The work will be on display for a month, from November 15, at number 52 Serrano Street in Madrid as part of the Meninas Madrid Gallery initiative and will later be installed at the entrance to the future Hospiten Madrid Boadilla hospital (Boadilla del Monte) as a visible symbol of the group's values.

The internal competition to design the work, aimed at all Hospiten professionals, invited them to reinterpret the universal symbol of Las Meninas by Velázquez from the point of view of the corporate values of the healthcare sector: commitment, solidarity, vocation for service, care and multiculturalism. The result has been a proposal that unites art, health and commitment, reflecting the identity of an organization focused on the welfare of people.

The winning design, entitled "Menina Hospiten", presents a figure inspired by a health professional as a symbol of vocation, empathy and human care. The author has fused classical aesthetics with elements from the medical field. It is "a heart with a cross on the chest, which represents compassion and dedication; the stethoscope symbolizes science and active listening and the leaves that decorate the dress evoke harmony, healing and growth". Dr. Olaya, author of the design, wanted to "represent the essence of those who work every day in the healthcare field: vocation, empathy and commitment to others."

The artistic composition incorporates the corporate colors of Hospiten and the flags of the five countries where the group is present (Spain, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Panama) as a representation of its cultural diversity and international vocation.

The selection process was carried out in two phases: an internal vote among the professionals at the different Hospiten centers and, later, the deliberation of the jury, made up of representatives of the group and experts in the artistic field, who chose the winning proposal.

With this initiative, Hospiten values internal talent and the involvement of its professionals, highlighting their essential role in the construction of an organization focused on the wellbeing and care of people.
