The children of the Sant Antoni de Portmany school have inaugurated Christmas at the Ca na Majora Intermediate Care Center, located in building J of the Can Misses Hospital, with the delivery of several Christmas posters made by themselves. The initiative took place this Monday and marks the second Christmas of this health unit specialized in the care of chronic patients.
A center with 65% occupancy and interdisciplinary care
Ca na Majora is a pioneering center in Ibiza for the inpatient care of complex chronic patients, advanced chronic patients and people in palliative care. The unit, which completed its full opening in October of this year, has 29 beds, of which 19 are currently occupied, representing an occupancy rate of 65.5%, with twelve patients admitted on the first floor and seven on the second floor.
The Ca na Majora Intermediate Care Center has a team of 56 professionals and operates as an interdisciplinary unit. Its services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, geriatrics, social work, nursing and orderlies, oriented to the early rehabilitation of processes such as stroke, convalescence in chronic patients or care for people in palliative care.
Christmas posters made by children from three to five years of age
A total of 18 schoolchildren between three and five years old have made six Christmas posters that now decorate the common areas of Ca na Majora. The works include messages of good wishes, Christmas trees made with tinsel, an Advent calendar and compositions with Christmas balls, as well as illustrations with stars and festive elements.
The children personally explained to the health staff the meaning of each of the posters, some of which include messages such as “Bon Any Nou” among stars or phrases of encouragement accompanied by photographs of their own smiles and looks. One of the works shows a golden star over the silhouette of Dalt Vila, in the city of Ibizawith a Christmas greeting message.
The group of schoolchildren went to building J of the Can Misses Hospital to deliver the posters, accompanied by their teachers Nuria Blázquez Martínez and Rosa María Martín Raya. The visit allowed direct contact between the children and the health staff of the unit, who thanked the gesture for its symbolic and human value for the admitted patients.
