More than 400 professionals from Hospital de Sant Pau took part in this sports event, where Sant Pau finished in first place, followed by Hospital Clínic and Sant Joan de Déu, in second and third place respectively.
The aim of this solidarity olympics is to encourage physical activity and healthy habits in the healthcare field, while also fostering cohesion, togetherness, and motivation within institutions and among participating organizations.
In addition, Sant Pau raised a total of €2,597 this year in solidarity donations from participating professionals. These funds will go to the Kàlida Foundation, a support center for people affected by cancer, offering care and guidance to individuals going through or having gone through cancer, as well as to their close circle of family, caregivers, and friends.
Soon, the BCN Salut Games organization will present Sant Pau’s management team with the trophy recognizing them as champions of the 2025 edition. The Kàlida Foundation will also receive the solidarity check with the funds raised, handed over by Sant Pau’s management.
