Borello and San Carlo officially have a new univocal reference for general practitioners since yesterday. With the ribbon cutting yesterday afternoon (wet from the beginning of the heavy rain that rained on the Cesena area) by the mayor Enzo Lattuca, on the old Umbro Casentinese in the heart of Borello, above the building that houses the pharmacy, “Valle della Salute Bsc” was born ” where the letters of the acronym are the initials of San Carlo and Borello. A garrison of 4 general practitioners who will certainly end up widening their range of action also to the hamlets further down the Cesena area such as San Vittore up to those beyond the nearby border with the Savio valley and the municipality of Mercato Saraceno.
The associated practice was born as an idea when other historic doctors left the area due to reaching age limits. Doctors Corrado Ruffilli, Alessandro Stamerra, Piergiacomo Baravelli and Laura Ricciardi will work simultaneously within the practice: the latter became permanent between the hamlets after she arrived with a six-monthly assignment to cover those who were about to retire.
The secretariat will be covered by three employees throughout the day and there will also be a nursing unit inside the structure equipped with two nurses. A nucleus therefore which, in an interchangeable manner, will be able to replace absent colleagues when they are away from their practice, and which will also be able to cover a wider daily period of time than what a single general practitioner can do in an outpatient clinic. alone. This is a service that was highly anticipated in the area. The depopulation of general practitioners that occurred over the years risked leaving the hamlets defenseless and above all, without an association like the one created, it would easily have put both the population of San Carlo and that of San Vittore in difficulty. Where it is unlikely that a doctor “alone” would have accepted an agreement to deal with the large number of patients that characterizes this hilly area, creating exoduses of patients towards more distant areas.
