    This project places Friuli Venezia Giulia at the international forefront in the innovation of cultural paradigms adopted to solve health problems. "Taking care of those who take care of us" is the course title organized and promoted by the HPH (Health Promoting Hospitals & Health Services) network that FVG's Central Health Directorate has entrusted to ARCS, the Regional Health Coordination Agency.
    "To solve the crisis in the health care system," says Joseph Polimeni, director general of ARCS, "we need resources, but we first need to re-care for health care workers who are constantly and daily living in a condition of chronic stress further burdened by the legacy of the pandemic.
    The HPH network, which has Friuli Venezia Giulia as the national coordinator for Italy, has a mandate from the WHO to design health service reengineering systems to make them more responsive to citizens' health needs and requirements. (ANSA).
