Córdoba, Argentina - July 2022 - On July 29, Salesian coadjutors Bros. Máximo Herrera and José Sobrero shared a fraternal moment at the São Paulo Integral Center for Palliative Care and Rehabilitation, directed by Drs. Hernán Carranza and Sandra Ahumada. On this occasion, they offered a painting by Artemide Zatti that was placed in the nursing area, imploring the intercession of the Holy Coadjutor for all the people who live and work in the hospital. The St. Paul Clinic, conceived and designed so that patients can feel at home, arises as an effective tool and alternative for research, diagnosis and treatment of patients with oncohematological diseases who need palliative care and rehabilitation. The act performed in the Cordoba clinic was a good opportunity to spread the figure of Artemide Zatti in view of his upcoming canonization.
