Since its origins 36 years ago, Recoletas Salud has been concerned about being part of the societies of all the cities in which it is present with a hospital or a medical and/or diagnostic imaging centre through sponsorship and collaboration in events and activities of various kinds that are representative of each city, especially cultural and sporting ones, according to the manager of Recoletas Salud Marbella, Carmen Rodríguez.

These statements were made by Rodríguez during the signing of a collaboration agreement with Marbella Football Center (MFC) under which the Hospital Recoletas Salud Marbella becomes a reference health centre for all the elite teams and national teams that carry out their pre-seasons and training camps in the centres that MFC, the world's leading brand in its sector, has on the Costa del Sol.

Carmen Rodríguez pointed out that Recoletas Salud is not only in Marbella, but also wants to be Marbella, which is precisely why, since the opening of its hospital in the city, it has signed important sponsorship agreements with emblematic companies and institutions in the city and has also promoted various sporting events that have had a very notable participation.

With the signing of this agreement, added the manager of Hospital Recoletas Salud Marbella, we become an "Exclusive Health Partner" for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the health of all football players and their staff that MFC receives at its facilities, advancing our most sincere commitment to be more of a city, more of a Marbella with each passing day.

Committed to sport and to the city of Marbella

Since its origins 36 years ago, Recoletas Salud, a leading company in the national private healthcare sector, has been concerned about being part of the societies of all the cities in which it is present through sponsorship and collaboration in events and activities of various kinds that are representative of each city, especially sports and cultural ones, according to the manager of Recoletas Salud Marbella, Carmen Rodríguez.

Rodríguez pointed out that Recoletas Salud is not only in Marbella, but also wants to be Marbella and, for this reason, since the opening a few months ago of its hospital in the city, important sponsorship agreements have been signed with emblematic companies and institutions in the city and different sporting events have also been promoted, which have had an outstanding participation.

"With the signing of today's agreement, we move forward in our most sincere commitment to be more of a city, more of a Marbella with each passing day," concluded Carmen Rodríguez.

Great support for sport in the city of Marbella

Lisandro Vieytes Arcomano, Sports Delegate of the Marbella Town Hall, highlighted the importance of this type of sponsorship for sport in the city of Marbella: "The fact that brands are backing our teams shows the good health of sport in the city".

The delegate added that this new agreement not only helps the Marbella Rugby Club to reach new goals, but also "strengthens the image of our city".

Objective: "To continue to grow".

"The new partnership with Grupo Recoletas Salud means a further step in our commitment to the aiming to further promote rugby and its values as one of the most important clubs in the city of Marbella. It also helps us to professionalising structures We will be able to offer a quality service to our members, subscribers and supporters", explains Pepe Arjona Alba, president of Marbella Rugby Club.

Arjona is clear about the goal: "To continue to grow"., and adds: "We are a reference entity in Spanish rugby, and the association with a great company like Grupo Recoletas Salud ensures that we can continue working on the training of our youngsters at the best level".

The first meeting was attended by some twenty women. 

Caring for people when they need it and helping them to "live longer, better and happier lives" is one of the priority objectives of the Recoletas Salud Group, an organisation with more than 35 years of experience in the health sector, which has just joined the Starlite Occident festival as a partner.

This hospital group - a benchmark in the field of health and wellness, which has recently set up in Marbella as part of its expansion process in southern Spain - and Starlite Occident - a benchmark in the world of music and leisure at an international level, whose image is closely linked to that of the city where it was born - converge at this point.

"Caring for patients - their physical health, but also their mental health - listening to them, pampering them and dedicating the time they need" and of course, "offering them first class care" is fundamental for Recoletas Salud, explains Carmen Rodríguez Bermúdez, the managing director of the hospital in Marbella, to EFE.

In this context, they have not hesitated to sign a collaboration agreement with Starlite Occident as their values coincide in many aspects with those of the festival, especially in terms of making people happier, says Carmen Rodríguez.

In addition to the Recoletas Salud Marbella hospital, Recoletas currently has hospitals in Valladolid, Burgos, Zamora, Palencia, Segovia, Ponferrada, Salamanca (under construction), Cuenca, Ourense, Cádiz and Córdoba, where it treats all types of pathologies and offers all specialities. It also has around thirty medical centres and numerous Diagnostic Imaging centres. It is also present in Murcia, Zaragoza, Seville, Santander and Pamplona with its reproductive medicine clinics, Vida.

Technology, a common denominator

Technology is very present in all Recoletas Salud centres and the group's management strives to be at the forefront in the world of healthcare, maintaining a firm commitment to technological advances, as it has done since its origins.

The decision to open in Marbella is directly related to the fact that "the working model and the way of doing things" of this hospital group fits perfectly with the idiosyncrasies of this city, "one of the main cities in Andalusia", says Carmen Rodríguez.

And to be presented in the capital of the jet set by Starlite Occident is "a unique opportunity" that they could not let slip away because "Marbella in Starlite and Starlite is Marbella", he says.

Thus, the Costa del Sol hospital is its first 'boutique hospital'," says the centre's managing director, "and it is very focused on women, surgery and prevention because," she stresses, "today's patients are increasingly coming to prevent disease.

At Recoletas Salud they work to ensure that patients take care of themselves and "there is no better care than being with family and friends enjoying a good time", says Carmen Rodríguez, who stresses that listening to music, attending a good concert and being at ease with yourself "helps to take care of your health".

A partnership for the future

This year is the first year of collaboration between the two entities, each a model of success in its sector, but "it will not be the only one", stresses the managing director of the Marbella hospital, because this strategic alliance was born with a vocation for the future and the agreement is here to stay.

Sandra García-Sanjuán, co-founder and executive president of the Starlite Group, also agrees, and is very pleased to have the Recoletas Salud Group as new travelling companions.

"We have just met and the relationship is in its infancy," said the head of the Starlite Occident festival, who is convinced that this is only the beginning of a close and fruitful collaboration.

"Together we are stronger than ever, and together we will be even better", said Sandra García-Sanjuán, as Starlite Occident has just started its summer season.

With months of concerts ahead, the festival's co-founder hopes to surprise the audience at this year's La Cantera de Nagüeles, where Marc Anthony, Raphael, Nathy Peluso, Europe and Will Smith, among other artists, will be performing.

The Hospital will host various high-quality temporary exhibitions.

According to the WHO, art reduces stress and anxiety, improves mood and the quality of experience in a hospital setting.

The Recoletas Salud Foundation and the [H]ARTE Foundation have recently signed a collaboration agreement under which the hospital Marbella will host various art exhibitions next year.

“After 36 years in the world of health and well-being, we know how important it is for our hospital spaces to be warm, welcoming, comfortable... that is precisely why we are working closely with the [H]Arte Foundation to make our hospital Marbella a more humane, artistic, and friendly space for our patients.”", said its manager, Carmen Rodríguez.

For Recoletas Salud it is a priority to provide health to people, "We want our patients to live longer, healthier, and happier lives, but we also want them all to feel comfortable with us. We want to make their hospital stay more comfortable, easier, and more enjoyable.", emphasised the manager of the hospital Marbella.

For her part, the founder of the [H]ARTE Foundation, Tamara Kreisler, with more than 25 years of experience in the art world, insisted on the therapeutic effect of art on people. "The WHO itself highlights the role of art in reducing stress, tension, and anxiety in patients and improving their hospital experience.", he stressed.

“At the [H]ARTE Foundation we are delighted to be able to collaborate with Recoletas Salud and contribute to humanising the hospital Marbella, using high-quality art that improves the quality of life, increases well-being and enriches the lives of the patients and staff.”", Tamara Kreisler concluded.

About [H]ARTE Foundation

The [H]ARTE Foundation organises temporary art exhibitions and creates solidarity murals in spaces where people in vulnerable situations are found, such as hospitals, primary care centres and nursing homes. Its goal is to enable all those who spend time there—patients, family members, and healthcare workers—to escape and be inspired by the artistic value of each piece during their healing process, both physically and emotionally.

This is the first Spanish organisation to implement this type of activity in our country, following the success of similar initiatives in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, with excellent results for both patients and hospital staff.

Tamara Kreisler, president of the [H]ARTE Foundation, leads this project that seeks to take advantage of the recognised therapeutic role of art and offer a different way of contemplating, understanding, and enjoying it.
