The Hospitalarias Foundation Tenerife is a non-profit canonical organisation that continues the care work begun in Tenerife in 1969 by the Sisters Hospitallers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its mission is to offer comprehensive care—social, educational, and occupational—to individuals in vulnerable situations in the areas of acquired brain injury and intellectual disability.
In 1974, it founded the Acamán Special Education School, to which more services have been added over the past half-century. They provide for both minors and adults through resources managed by highly qualified and specialised professionals.
In January 2025, the nuns transferred the management of all their services to the Hospitalarias Foundation, officially closing the community of Sisters in Tenerife on 6 June. This marked the beginning of a new phase in their care activities while maintaining a model centred on the users and their families, with a humane approach based on respect and dignity.
With a team of 314 professionals, in 2024, they attended to 515 people across the island of Tenerife, of all ages, in seven different resources: Day Care Centres, Acquired Brain Injury Unit, Personal Autonomy Promotion Service, Acamán Special Education School, Employment Area, Functional Homes, and Residences.
Through research and innovation applied to care processes, Hospitalarias Foundation Tenerife integrates the latest technological advances in the field of multidisciplinary rehabilitation and education to focus on what matters most: providing quality humanised care based on excellence.
For this reason, the core values of Hospitalarias Foundation Tenerife are: hospitality, humanity in care, sensitivity to the excluded, service to those in need, professional quality, ethical conduct, liberating welcome, and historical awareness.
