Alexandria Hospital Celebrates 90 Years of Rehabilitation with Borsalino Day 2025
Table of Contents
A two-day event beginning this Friday will commemorate nine decades of rehabilitative care at the Alexandria Hospital-University’s “Borsalino” garrison, blending scientific discussion, institutional reflection, and historical remembrance.
The celebrations, kicking off on Friday afternoon, mark a significant milestone for the hospital and the community it serves. The event aims to showcase the evolution of rehabilitation practices and honor the individuals who have shaped its legacy.
A Deep Dive into Rehabilitation Practices
The first afternoon, beginning at 2:30 PM local time, will feature a session titled “The health professions are told.” During this meeting, professionals from the three Praids of the Aou will detail the diverse range of rehabilitation activities offered, spanning pediatric to geriatric care. This provides a unique opportunity to understand the daily work of healthcare professionals alongside their patients.
“This is a chance to offer a direct and concrete look at the dedication and expertise within our rehabilitation programs,” stated a senior hospital official.
Honoring History and Charting the Future
From 5:00 PM onward, the event will shift towards an institutional focus, with greetings from hospital authorities and directors, alongside representatives from the University of Eastern Piedmont’s school of physiotherapy. Following these remarks, two key discussions will take place: a reconstruction of the history of the Borsalino garrison, tracing its development from 1935 to the present day, and a presentation outlining current activities and future goals.
The Borsalino garrison has demonstrably adapted to the changing healthcare needs of the community over nearly a century. A timeline illustrating the key milestones in the garrison’s history would be a valuable addition here.
A Tribute to Prof. Giancarlo Moreo
The first day will conclude with a special tribute to Prof. Giancarlo Moreo, a figure deeply intertwined with the history of the Borsalino garrison. For decades, he served as director of both the pneumology department and the garrison itself, leaving an indelible mark on the institution.
“Walk of Health” to Conclude Celebrations
Borsalino Day 2025 will continue on Saturday, September 13th, with the “Walk of Health.” This community-focused initiative invites citizens to participate in a walk from the Infantile Hospital to the Borsalino garrison, promoting movement, conviviality, and awareness of key locations within Alexandrian rehabilitation services.
Registration for the “Walk of Health” is required and can be completed at http://bit.ly/3i5xazj. The event underscores the hospital’s commitment to community engagement and preventative healthcare.
The 90th-anniversary celebrations represent not only a look back at the accomplishments of the Borsalino garrison but also a forward-looking vision for continued excellence in rehabilitative care.
