Over 20 years of excellence in the integration and promotion of Healthcare, Academia and Innovation. The "Unidade Local de Saúde de Matosinhos (ULSM) - Hospital Pedro Hispano" has reached a mature condition in the excellence of the medical practice, being a reference for other healtchare institutions. As a precursor and pioneer, ULSM is the country's first Local Health Unit, being focused on health promotion, in a holistic, integrated and personalized manner, with the involvement of the institutional and all society organizations. ULSM's life is inclusive, from the reconciliation of all its aspects to its sustainability, from training and differentiation to the feeling of accomplishment and trust of human resources, from scientific and technological development to people-centered care, from the physical and social environment to health policies. Quality, from certification to control of operational costs, from information technologies to personal and face-to-face communication with professionals and users. Throughout this time we have learned from everyone who stepped through our doors to care, organize, integrate or train, regarding our health. Health that we need to improve creating value for life.
