Hospital San Juan de Dios

San Juan de Dios Hospital was inaugurated in 1953, becoming part of the group of hospitals and own centres governed by the Hospitaller Order of St John of God in Spain, a private management, non-profit institution.

Since its foundation, the Order− through its charisma and in different ways− develops and transmits a concept of hospitality focused on providing comprehensive care to sick people and those in a fragile situation.

Our Hospital in Zaragoza has been doing that for over 60 years, by offering− through a wide Portfolio of Services− from very specialized rehabilitation to palliative medicine at the most crucial moment of life, always striving to combine science and humanized medicine that respects the intrinsic value of the person as a whole.

The history of this Hospital is from the beginning a constant adaptation to healthcare needs of the city of Zaragoza. Nowadays, it is part of the hospital network, providing service to the public healthcare of Aragon with the following

We signed a cooperation agreement in 2006 with Zaragoza Public University that integrated the existing relation that we had with the Faculty of Health Sciences since 1994. Nowadays, we have 10 associate professors: 4 in Medicine, 3 in Nursing, 2 in Physiotherapy and 1 in Occupational Therapy.

In 2010, we signed a cooperation agreement with San Jorge University, and we have two associate professors: one in Nursing and other in Physiotherapy.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our way of managing the Hospital is based on our commitment to the environment. Accordingly, we work constantly in order to improve our specific policies in HHRR (Conciliation, Training, Performance…), environmental awareness for professionals and users, and promotion of “Ethics and Integrity” in our way to proceed. It is worth mentioning our Volunteer Service, ongoing since 1992, where members of our society share the Hospital Vision and Values.

It is intended for helping to meet the needs of patients and their families: company, emotional and external support, external formalities, nutrition support or library services.
