Mariona Espaulella Ferrer has received the Osona Health Award
Mariona Espaulella Ferrer has received the Osona Health Award (Premis sanitat d'Osona) for her article, "Health Care Model for People Living in Nursing Homes Based on Integrated Care." The award recognizes her contribution to improving care for elderly residents through a collaborative health care model. The awarded article demonstrates the benefits of integrating primary care teams with a specialized geriatric team to enhance the health outcomes of nursing home residents. Espaulella's research shows that this approach leads to more personalized care, faster responses to health needs, and improved overall well-being for institutionalized individuals.
