Fundación Científica Caja Rural was born in 1995 with the purpose of educating the citizens of Soria, parents, and the different collectives of our society on INTEGRAL HEALTH. Also promoting the integral health among the general public and training the new generations so that they will have full knowledge of the possibilities that a healthy life can have for their future.

During this time, there have been many activities, programmes and publications through which we intended to bring health closer to our society. Our Escuelas de Salud (Health Schools) have traveled thousands of kilometres to bring health education to every corner of our province. Soria Cardioprotegida (Soria Cardioprotected) provides coverage to the entire capital in the event of cardiac emergency. The promotion of a healthy lifestyle has placed Soria on the international map of Emblematic Communities of the Mediterranean Diet, and our Soria Saludable magazine is already a world benchmark in preventive medicine...

Through the FCCR, Soria gives health and does it with initiatives that reinvent themselves over time and with constantly renewed illusions. Down below we share some of these initiatives that show what we do at the FCCR.
