KAIROS Società Cooperativa Sociale

What KAIROS Società Cooperativa Sociale does

KAIROS Società Cooperativa Sociale is an Italian social cooperative (Società Cooperativa Sociale) founded in 2013 and headquartered in Alessandria, Piedmont, operating across the province of Alessandria with an additional site in Ovada. The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of social and healthcare services through two divisions: a Social Area covering social housing (housing sociale), solidarity co-housing for autonomous elderly (co-abitazioni solidali), and protected apartments for people with disabilities (appartamenti protetti); and a Healthcare Area providing outsourced medical staffing in emergency medicine, psychiatry, neurology, and prison medicine to public hospitals (Pronto Soccorso of Novi Ligure, Acqui Terme, Ovada), ASL territoriali del Piemonte, and detention facilities. It also operates the Kairos Rescue Team (KRT), an event medical services unit, and runs two physical housing facilities: Casa Santa Gorizia in Alessandria and Casa Cappuccina in Ovada. The website additionally cross-links to affiliated outpatient polyclinics (kairosambulatorio.it, medmaiora.it), suggesting adjacent specialist outpatient activity.

The cooperative is member-owned under Italian cooperative law, with no external investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Revenue is generated exclusively through public-sector contracts and service commissions: managed services for healthcare professional placement in public facilities, professional services for social housing and disability support commissioned by municipalities, and event medical service contracts. The customer base is entirely governmental — ASL, hospitals, prisons, and municipal social services — with no consumer-facing pricing. The core operating technology is none proprietary; service delivery depends on a multidisciplinary human team of doctors, nurses, educators, social workers, and operators (12+ per company communications; 5 per third-party firmographic estimate), coordinated through direct institutional relationships rather than a digital platform. The organization's primary technical assets are its regulatory eligibility under Italian cooperative procurement rules, its workforce of certified medical and social-care professionals, and its local institutional relationships built over 12+ years of operation in a single province.
