Sant Jordi sempre és un dia molt especial a Vall d’Hebron i enguany hem volgut que la pandèmia no ens impedís gaudir d’aquesta Diada tan celebrada. Així, en la línia de convertir cada dia més aquest centre en un hospital més amable, hem volgut fer un gest perquè totes les persones ingressades a l’Hospital rebin una rosa amb cor. D’aquesta manera, tots ells i elles podran gaudir també d’aquesta Diada encara que no puguin fer-ho al carrer. Per això hem impulsat la iniciativa #RosesAmbCor, que té l’objectiu d’aconseguir repartir roses per a totes les persones ingressades.
