Community houses at the former Umberto I and at the Lido complex, inspection by deputy mayor Iemma
The start of the works that will transform part of the former Umberto I and the health center of the Lido district into Community Houses using Pnrr funds is in the planning stage. The deputy mayor with responsibility for relations with the Health Service, Giusy Iemma, held an inspection, in the first structure involved in the historic center, with the director of the Social and Health District of Catanzaro, Tiziana Parrello, to view the spaces and take stock of the interventions in definition path for the construction of a new model of territorial organization. Also present were Giovanna Traversa, PST contact person for Catanzaro, Caterina Dodaro for the nursing coordinator organizational function, Antonio Aloi and Raffaele Clericò from the Technical Asset Management unit.
A path that will see the Municipality and Asp involved, each with their own skills, in the conversion of existing structures into new multi-service centers that guarantee integration between the various social welfare and social health services. “The Community Houses represent an ambitious challenge in the creation of a welfare system capable of ensuring greater proximity to users and investing resources profitably, while at the same time relieving the emergency room from a considerable amount of access”, comments the deputy mayor Iemma. “The integrated and multidimensional approach with the social sector, at the basis of the Community House, moves in the direction of encouraging the participation of the Third Sector in this process aimed at providing answers in the reception and care of our patients, but also of family members who care for them on a daily basis. With the imminent start of work on the former Umberto I and the Lido Complex, a path begins that will provide the territory with new points of reference in addressing the emerging problems of the health sphere and social vulnerability”. Director Parrello added that “these new socio-health structures, included in an extraordinary investment plan envisaged by the PNRR, represent a precious opportunity to modernize citizens’ health services. To build the new community welfare, the synergy between the health authority and the Municipality of Catanzaro, leader of the area, with which a fruitful collaboration is underway is of fundamental importance”.
