We continue to move forward with the Municipality of San Miguel!

On Friday, August 4, we had the great visit of some of the members of the municipal council of San Miguel to our Corporation, where they were able to see firsthand the work we do and our tremendous team.

During the meeting, Carolina Castro, general manager; Hilda Corbalán, head quality nurse; Constanza Olivares, head nurse; and Paula Maggi, deputy director of communications and resources; gave them a tour of the facilities of the Diagnostic Center where every year we perform more than 14,000 treatments, both for children in the commune, as well as throughout Chile. In addition to being able to talk in more detail about joint actions to continue supporting so many people in need and level the playing field in health.

We are grateful for the visit of Councilman Carlos Pérez and his assistant Nicolás López; Councilman Andrés Dibán and his assistants Daniel Narea and Nicolás Salas; and Councilwoman Carla Santana and her assistant Isabel Navarro. Let's go for more!
