The new organisation, made possible with the support of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, marks an evolution of the A.S.S.O. Association. Its goal is to enhance the local health system through the collaborative efforts of organisations, entrepreneurs and citizens.
28 October 2024 saw the official establishment of Fondazione Ospedali Mondovì e Ceva, marking a significant step in supporting healthcare facilities in the province of Cuneo. The new organisation is the evolution of the A.S.S.O association for healthcare in the south western area of the province of Cuneo, which has been dedicated since 2019 to strengthening the ASL CN1 healthcare district encompassing the Monregalese, Cebano and Langa Doglianese areas.
The signing of the memorandum of association was attended by the mayor of Mondovì and president of the Province of Cuneo, Luca Robaldo and the mayor of Ceva, Fabio Mottinelli, alongside Ezio Raviola from the Management Committee of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, a key promoter of the initiative.
Raviola commented, “In pursuing the Promoting Well-Being mission of its Planet Goal, Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo has supported the transformation of the A.S.S.O. Association into a Foundation, with the aim of creating a stronger, more structured partner for the local health system. This evolution will enhance support for care and health activities, improving the ability to attract resources and have a positive impact on the area.”
Thanks to the contribution of twenty-two founding members, Fondazione Ospedali Mondovì e Ceva is now a more solid and independent structure, capable of attracting more resources and effectively supporting the local health sector. Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo has played a crucial role in establishing the new organisation, aiming to enhance its positive impact on the health and well-being of communities in the Cuneo area.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote operational models that effectively address community needs while improving the efficiency, availability and quality of healthcare services delivered.
For years, the Foundation has been committed to developing a replicable and sustainable intervention model designed to strengthen local health networks and amplify their social impact. This involves fostering synergies among various stakeholders in the region, with a strong emphasis on fundraising and awareness-raising, key elements in ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of healthcare services.
A concrete example of the effectiveness of this approach is the HOSPEEDAL initiative, which has funded four strategic interventions with a total investment of €1,575,000 , demonstrating how this method can amplify resources and yield tangible benefits for the region.
The establishment of Fondazione Ospedali Mondovì e Ceva exemplifies a successful collaboration among municipalities, entrepreneurs, banking foundations and citizens, all united in the goal of strengthening the local health system, an essential asset for the community. This shared commitment marks the beginning of a journey toward collective development, grounded in the values of solidarity, well-being and cooperation.
