The Alcobendas City Council has taken a significant step towards realizing a mental health center by offering a plot of land to the Community of Madrid for its construction.
The goal is to provide a definitive solution to the overcrowding at the current Miraflores Mental Health Center located in Alcobendas, and to meet the increasing demand for specialized care in the northern area of Madrid.
The new center would improve healthcare and facilitate the development of the extensive network of mental health programs promoted by the Community of Madrid.
Commitment of the Municipal Government
Since taking office, Alcobendas Mayor, Rocío García, has shown her commitment to this cause by conveying the urgent need for this healthcare facility to the Community of Madrid.
Regional President, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, welcomed the mayor’s proposal, and in April 2024, during an Extraordinary Government Council held in Alcobendas, Ayuso expressed interest in the project and willingness to study its feasibility.
A Plot in the North District of the City
In January 2024, the city council offered the Community of Madrid three municipal plots for the future center.
Following technical analysis, the UP51 plot located in Fuente Lucha, on Avenida de Pablo Iglesias, No. 5, next to the Miguel Delibes Popular University, was chosen as the most suitable for construction. This plot has an area of 2,900 square meters and a value of 2,762,250 euros.
Work begins to transform the old landfill in Alcobendas into a forest park
The new center will focus on the specialties of psychiatry, psychology, and emotional health. It will be affiliated with the Infanta Sofía Hospital and address the pressing issues of space, habitability, and accessibility at the Miraflores Health Center, challenges that have escalated with the significant increase in care activities.
The council will debate the transfer of ownership of the mentioned plot to the Community of Madrid in the Ordinary Session scheduled for Thursday, May 29.
With the approval of the council’s transfer of the municipal plot to the Community of Madrid, Alcobendas is approaching a long-awaited milestone for its residents and also for the citizens of northern Madrid: having a modern mental health center tailored to current needs.
