The inauguration of the advanced sanitary structure in the care for post-acute patients, which will be managed by the Foundation Don Gnocchi thanks to the concession activated with the hospital company “Mellino Mellini“ of Clear ones and the operative credit of the Region Lombardy, has happened in the Saturday morning on November 4 2006 to the presence of the thickest public between whom many operators of the sector could be distinguished sociosanitario and as many civil, religious and military authority.
With the official opening dell’ “Ettore Spalenza“ shuts himself for the capital franciacortina that one that the mayor rovatese Andrew Cottinelli has defined “a wound opened still today”: the closing relative to the 90s of then public hospital of road Golgi, happened in spite of the great popular mobilisation - probably, most extended between those known in the last years Rovato - wipe under the name of “Committee Hour”.
The project of transformation of the preceding hospital garrison into the most modern structure able to receive 130 bedridden chronic invalids had begun a little less than one ten of years ago. On the one hand, the demand of the hospital company “Mellino Mellini“ of Clear ones of doing front to the new sanitary challenges dictated by the lengthening of the middle life of the of Brescia ones and then of emerging of a soundness based more on the chronic pathologies than on the interventions of short period. Other, the availability and the pluriennial experience in the care of the lungodegenti accumulated by the Foundation Don Gnocchi already present on the territory rovatese from half years Ninety thanks to the centre “Holy Mary in Santo Stefano” realised in road Martinengo on the grounds of the bequest Cornali.
The agreement of 2001 between the director of the Mellini, Gabriele Tonini, and the vertices of Don Gnocchi had allowed on November 4 2003 the opening of the works in the spaces of the ex-public hospital of road Golgi, 1. The carrying out of the new "Spalenza" was involving in an experimental synergy project between public and social private citizen also the Region Lombardy and other local companies of the territory for a total expense close to 18 million Euro. During three years of works, the garrison (that regards on the whole a division of 15.700 square metres, for an area covered with 4.600 square metres and a surface opened to the 12.900 metres public) has been equipped from the technological point of view to unwind the most advanced functions of post-acute rehabilitation in an intensive hospital structure. The new centre of rehabilitation, which the October has already started accomodating the first 27 patients, has today a total ability of 130 beds: 110 of specialised rehabilitation, 10 of general rehabilitation and geriatrica and at last other 10 of day hospital.
The structure will be able to attend, availing itself of the most modern methodologies and instrumentation, patients discharged in majority at the hospitals for acute coming from the whole district and also outside province. From the point of view of the premises, to the old structure of the ex-public hospital a wide building has been added to three plans with a wide basement, which will be dedicated to different outpatient activities of rehabilitative and diagnostic type. Particularly, the first fields to be operative will be those cardiorespiratorio and neuromotorio. All of it will be completed then by a classic diagnostics service for images, by a Moc able to value the osseous density and an echography service. In the structure there is besides provided the activation of an operative unit for spinal by 16 beds, as well as an integration with the public service as far as it regards the activities of outpatient, extrahospital and house specialised one.
To do the difference between new "Ettore Spalenza" managed by the Foundation Don Gnocchi and the traditional hospitals will be above all the qualities and the abilities put in field at the operating persons in the structure itself. 70 technicians who for now will work on Rovato (doctors, hospital attendants, operators sociosanitari, physiotherapists and staff of support) have been in fact formed during the summer months to be able to reply in the most professional and human way to the demands of each patient individual of the centre.
