The phylosophy of the Campus Sant Joan de Déu is framed within the phylosophy of the Hospital Order.

Institutional ethos of San Juan de Dios

The cental value of the Hospital Order is HOSPITALITY. It is from the choice of this value and its development that the ones of us who are a part of the Hospital Family want to contribute to the development and well-being of our society.

HOSPITALITY is our main value, in it we find the essence of our charisma and takes us to always live with an open attitude towards the rest. It is about embracing the neighbour as they are, always from the heart.

Quality

QUALITY is the essential basis of our service and our operation: we must get involved, both collaborators and Brethren, in the continuous improvement of the care given in our centers. We try to look for new treatments that help improve the quality of our users. Our raison d'être lies on the search of the best for the person assisted.

Respect

RESPECT is an indispensable condition for being able to act in a hospitalary way with everything that has to see with welcoming and companionship. It requires to develop listening skills and patience. Often, a silent presence may express more than any other word.

Responsibility

RESPONSIBILITY represents a fundamental criterion for our service and our management that translates in fidelity to the ideals of San Juan de Dios and the Order in the promotion of ethics, environmental protection, social responsibility, sostenibility, justice and fair distribution of resources.

Spirituality

The value of SPIRITUALITY guides every person in their search for a meaning, religion and the transcendental. We do pastoral work on health and offer spiritual care in our centers to other religions. We collaborate with different dioceses and parishes and with other religious denominations.
