The prestigious hospital network and the black-and-gold club have renewed the agreement that has bound them since 2023.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, September 17, 2026. On Wednesday, the CB Canarias Foundation and Hospiten signed the renewal of their agreement, ensuring that the prestigious hospital network will continue to provide the Foundation’s official medical services for another season. The signing ceremony was attended by Juan José Hernández Rubio, president of Hospiten, and Santiago Cacho Peña, president of the Fundación CB Canarias.

Under the agreement, players on the Santa Cruz ADEIN Tenerife Fundación CB Canarias roster—a team in the Wheelchair Basketball Super League and the province’s top-tier representative in the sport—will be able to undergo medical exams for the fourth consecutive year, in this case those for the 26/27 season, at the facilities of the Hospiten Rambla University Hospital and the Hospiten Bellevue University Hospital. For this reason, the president of the Santa Cruz-based team, Ana Magaly Rodríguez Palmero, witnessed the signing of the agreement.

Hospiten has major departments of Sports Traumatology and Sports Cardiology, which provide treatment and prevention for potential injuries that may occur throughout the season. Likewise, the agreement provides for future collaborations between the two entities on social projects and initiatives.

Juan José Hernández Rubio explained that “this renewal reflects Hospiten’s commitment to initiatives that go beyond the realm of sports and generate true social value. The CB Canarias Foundation and Santa Cruz ADEIN do extraordinary work in promoting adapted sports, fostering inclusion, equal opportunities, and visibility of people’s abilities. We are proud to support a project that embodies such important values as perseverance, overcoming challenges, and team spirit.”

For his part, Santiago Cacho noted that “it is extremely important for the Foundation to have the support of a company with the prestige and track record of Hospiten, with whom we have fortunately been working hand in hand since 2023. We are delighted with the treatment we receive. It’s reassuring to be in such good hands.”

Ana Magali Rodríguez Palmero recalled that “a few months ago, a delegation from Hospiten visited the Sergio Rodríguez Arena to hold a training session with our coaches and players. In addition, last season we had the opportunity to visit the Hospiten Rambla University Hospital and the Hospiten Bellevue University Hospital to present their staff with the BSR Cup, which we won in February in Móstoles. The truth is that we are extremely grateful for the warmth we’ve received from Hospiten and the interest they’ve shown in our sports project.”
