CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE
Hello everyone!
I would like to take this opportunity to share how the idea of creating this center was born and thank you for your trust.
I decided to open my own practice in Vilanova i la Geltrú, my hometown, with the aim of offering more personalized attention to families in the area. Just at that time, my first son was born, so I had two babies at the same time!
Over time, and after the birth of my other two children, I felt the need to expand our care. So, with great enthusiasm, we opened the Gemma Morera Pediatric Center in a larger and more welcoming space, designed so that both parents and children feel at home. For us, the family is the most important thing, and we work so that parents feel safe to entrust us with what is most precious to them: their children.
Thanks to the trust of our patients and the efforts of a team of highly qualified doctors and specialists, we have evolved to become the Gemma Morera Medical and Pediatric Center. Now, we offer comprehensive care to the whole family, from birth to adulthood, both medically and psychologically.
Our team is constantly training to keep up to date with the latest advances in our fields of specialization. We have created a specific room for the study of respiratory and cardiac function, in order to detect and treat cases of childhood and adolescent asthma, as well as cardiac pathologies, which are becoming more and more frequent. This allows us to offer a good prognosis and improve the quality of life of our patients, avoiding late diagnoses in adulthood.
In addition to providing quality medical care, our goal is to inform and educate families. That's why we organize workshops and informative talks on relevant topics throughout the year, so be sure to follow us on our website to stay up to date!
Finally, I would like to sincerely thank you for your confidence in our center. We aspire to be your point of reference for the integral health care of your family. Thank you for being part of our family!
