The Department of Health has announced the construction of a new local hospital in the Vallès Occidental, which will respond to the current and future aging needs of the population of the territory and support an increasing number of chronically ill.

The high care pressure that Parc Taulí itself manages on a daily basis or the lack of resources in different areas of care in this territory are some of the reasons why the new hospital is a need that had long been planned to be covered.

It is expected that the new center will be located on land located between Montcada and Reixac and Ripollet.
