In January 2024, SERHS Food formalized the award related to the provision of comprehensive catering services for the Maresme Health Consortium (CSdM), encompassing patient meal services and the concession of cafeteria and staff dining services. The scope of operation includes Mataró Hospital, as well as the former Sant Jaume and Santa Magdalena Hospital and the municipal residence of Sant Josep in the same city.
The healthcare history of Mataró and its surrounding area, as the capital of Maresme, is closely tied to the construction of Sant Jaume and Santa Magdalena Hospital in the 17th century, although the current building, located in the town center, was built in the mid-18th century. The Mataronina Alliance, a mutual social benefit society founded in 1909, constructed the current building in 1964, also in the center of the urban area. These physical structures became outdated in the face of the requirements of a modern acute care hospital.
In April 1999, hospital activities were relocated from Sant Jaume and Santa Magdalena Hospital and the Mataronina Alliance to a new facility, which is now one of the most modern regional hospitals in Catalonia, Mataró Hospital. Thanks to the facilities of the new installations and the renewed enthusiasm of professionals, new lines of work were initiated, all aimed at enhancing and improving citizen care. From this new center, there was growth in activity, not only quantitatively, as seen in emergencies and deliveries, but above all, there was an improvement in quality.
SERHS Food, headquartered in Mataró, has a long-standing history of over 40 years in the field of collective catering with a team of 2,000 professionals. It stands out as the first company in the sector to obtain certification in the FSSC 22000 v5 standard for food safety in the high-performance kitchen (CAR) in Mataró. The company also holds ISO 9001:2015 for quality and ISO 22,000:2018 for food safety. This award is highly symbolic for the company, as it is the first time they undertake such a project, and it holds significance due to the proximity and recognition of the centers as landmarks in the region.
