From the Popayán campus, students from the Physiotherapy and Nutrition and Dietetics programs of the Fundación Universitaria María Cano carried out an impactful educational and health promotion day at the San José University Hospital of Popayán, aimed at workers, users, and their families.

The activity took place across the different hospital services, where students provided guidance on self-care, the adoption of healthy habits, and the prevention of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions—identified among the main global mortality risks.

This learning experience strengthened the professional skills of future physiotherapists and nutritionists while raising awareness within the hospital community about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition.

Through initiatives like this, María Cano reaffirms its commitment to well-being, public health, and social development in Cauca, integrating academia with community and societal service. #MásMaríaCano
