“While we work to create a functional and welcoming structure in an ancient building, surrounded by greenery like Villa Montecuccoli, with the construction site which will start in September – says the mayor of Modena Gian Carlo Muzzarelli – it is right to think, at the same time, of the soul of the future Hospice of Modena. The soul of the hospice will be the doctors, the nurses and all the Ausl staff supported by the many professional volunteers who will stand by the sick to make every moment human and worth living, alongside and supporting their families. Volunteers are, once again, the added value of a project to which, together with the institutions, they are making a decisive contribution”.
