Spazio Salute Benessere

What Spazio Salute Benessere does

Spazio Salute Benessere is a non-medical ambulatory service inaugurated in 2016 as one of eight intervention areas operated by Spazio Aperto Società Cooperativa Sociale Onlus, an Italian Type A social cooperative (Cooperativa Sociale di tipo A) founded June 30, 1993, under Italy's Law 381/91 and headquartered in Bussolengo, Verona. The cooperative's roots trace to the 1984 Cooperativa Prestatori d'Opera, and it has expanded continuously into childcare (0-6), minors services (6-18), elderly residential and non-residential care, mental health, social and housing distress services, international protection reception, and health and wellness services. As of 2019 the organization comprised 249+ worker-members (soci lavoratori), including 101 educators, 36 home care assistants, and 32 health workers, operating 293 active services across 35 municipalities in the Verona province through 8 intervention areas. The Spazio Salute e Benessere ambulatory specifically delivers non-medical outpatient health and wellbeing services as part of this broader portfolio.

The cooperative generates revenue through three principal streams: public sector contracts with municipalities and ULSS 9 Scaligera for social, healthcare, and educational services (the dominant stream), private service fees from summer camps (€110/week for residents), Spazio Famiglia (€50 annual registration), and Centro Aperto (€100 annual fee), and project-based grants from foundations including Fondazione Cariverona and Fondazione Con i Bambini (which committed €1.5M to the CARE project). Distribution occurs via direct service provision through contracts and public tenders with government clients, plus direct enrollment for private individuals and schools. Marketing relies on public administration partnerships, the cooperative's website, and community word-of-mouth rather than traditional channels.

The cooperative operates without proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or software products; competitive differentiation stems from territorial roots, ISO 9001:2015 (2002), UNI 11034 (2021), and UNI 125:2022 certifications, co-design (co-progettazione) methodology with municipalities, and a workforce receiving 90 hours/year of internal training across 20 dedicated training activities. Governance is democratic under cooperative law ("one head, one vote"), with the Assembly of Members electing a Board of Directors. Leadership transitioned in May 2025 with Sabrina Fontana assuming the Presidency from Lucia Zanoni (who concluded five consecutive terms) and Galvani Maddalena becoming Vice President. The organization is part of a cooperative group (with All Services, Beta, and Prestatori cooperatives) and a 20+ year member of Consorzio Sol.Co Verona and Confcooperative Federsolidarietà Veneto.
