The Hospiten Sur University Hospital celebrates its 40th anniversary on Thursday, May 8, at the Magma Arte & Congresos in Adeje. With this celebration, the management of Hospiten pays tribute to the capacity for evolution, dedication and commitment of the professionals and management team that form part of the hospital.
The event was attended by His Excellency Mr. Manuel Domínguez González, Vice-President of the Government of the Canary Islands; the Councilor for Social Action, Inclusion and Volunteers of the Council of Tenerife, Ms. Águeda Fumero; and the Mayoress of Arona, Ms. Fátima Lemes Reverón, who expressed their support for the project and reaffirmed their commitment to social welfare and support for initiatives that strengthen the community fabric.
The executive president of Hospiten, Juan José Hernández Rubio, explains that, since its beginnings, the company's philosophy has always been dedication to the patient, taking great care of all the people who come to any of its centers. "In particular, the team at Hospiten Sur University Hospital, made up of more than 500 professionals, stands out for its high technical qualifications and human quality, and is absolutely committed to the health and well-being of our patients," he points out.
"After 40 years of effort and commitment to improving health, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the medical specialists and nursing professionals and, in general, all the people who have been part of our history for their efforts and daily work," he says. In this respect, Hernandez Rubio points out that all this has contributed to the fact that today the Hospiten Sur University Hospital is "synonymous with innovation, quality and international prestige".
A benchmark in innovation and welfare
As part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of this center located in the municipality of Arona, Hospiten wanted to convey its commitment to the incorporation of innovation and technology at the service of health and to improve the wellbeing of people, guaranteeing quality care through a team of highly qualified professionals.
"After four decades, innovation continues to be a hallmark of the Hospiten brand. This center in the south of the island is a clear example of this commitment, with the recent incorporation of state-of-the-art technology in different specialties to optimize diagnoses and improve the patient experience, thus reaffirming our continuous search for excellence and quality," commented Pedro Luis Cobiella Beauvais, vice president and CEO of the company.
The process of renovation and modernization of the facilities is another of the fundamental axes of the healthcare group, which has opted for the refurbishment of various areas and the creation of new spaces aimed at promoting a better quality of work for healthcare and administrative personnel, as well as a more efficient and comfortable service for patients.
Four decades of evolution
Hospiten Sur University Hospital began its activity in August 1984, in the municipality of Arona, Tenerife. This hospital was the answer to the healthcare demand in the southern part of the island and currently offers its services to both residents and tourists who visit the island.
Its history has been marked by a constant evolution and, at present, the center is undergoing a period of change and transformation. In the last stage, reforms and extensions have been carried out in different parts of the center, such as the Intensive Care Unit, the Digestive Endoscopy Unit, a new Outpatients' Department, the Emergency Room, and the creation of the Pediatric Emergency Room. Along the same lines, the renovation of the hospital's new façade is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
"With regard to the upcoming challenges, we seek to consolidate our brand in the present and future as a synonym for wellness, innovation and patient care in an increasingly globalized context. We will remain faithful to our mission to offer top-quality healthcare," concluded Cobiella Beauvais.
Since its beginnings, Hospiten has expanded its presence beyond our borders. The company is currently in a solid stage of internationalization, with hospitals in Spain, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and Panama, taking its model of healthcare excellence to different parts of the world.
