The El Bruc City Council has reviewed the recent transition to the Penedès Health Region with the regional manager and territorial director of Health, identifying needs for improvement in transport and communication.

The El Bruc City Council held a working meeting with Alba Brugués, manager of the Penedès Health Region, and Miguel Corral, director of the Penedès Territorial Services. The discussion focused on evaluating the initial days of operation following the health region change, effective October 1st, and analyzing healthcare provision in the municipality.
A key topic was enhancing public transport connections. The Council emphasized to health officials the need to strengthen these links to facilitate resident travel and ensure adequate access to healthcare services.
It was also reported that some tasks related to data transfer and IT system adaptation are still pending. Technical teams are working to complete this process, ensuring full integration of services within the new health region without impacting citizen care.
Furthermore, the City Council requested an open information session for the public. This session aims to explain the changes from the new health organization, outline available services, and address queries regarding the updated care model.
The meeting also served to strengthen coordination between the City Council and Health officials, with a commitment to maintain fluid communication and continuous monitoring. The goal is for the health region transition to result in improved care for El Bruc residents.
