Salud Comunitaria Castilla y León

Community health in Castile and León

Salud Comunitaria Castilla y León is the website of the PACAP Castilla y León group, affiliated with the Castilian-Leonese Society of Family and Community Medicine (SOCALEMFYC). It was established in 2020 as a Community Care Policy group for primary care in Castile and León, although the COVID-19 pandemic delayed its launch.

The group brings together professionals from a range of health and social-care fields who are interested in community medicine. Its aim is to improve community health in Castile and León by training family physicians in community-based activities.
