A file dedicated to physical activity on prescription, articles on the new job of hotel agent at HUG, the AudioRehab+ application for people with severe to profound deafness and the benefits of anti-inflammatory diet… These themes, and many others, can be discovered in the July-September edition of the HUG Pulsations magazine.
File: physical activity on prescription
If it were a medicine, physical activity would be both a painkiller, a key factor in recovery after a cardiac event or a stroke or even a remarkable way to boost morale and self-confidence. It is therefore not surprising that it is increasingly present in the hospital, on prescriptions as well as in specific programs and even in the brand new Physical Activity Center.
New hotel service at HUG
To improve the well-being of patients, a new profession has been created at HUG: that of hotel agent. This innovation aims to improve the comfort of the people being cared for, to participate in the fight against malnutrition problems and to allow healthcare staff to return to the heart of their profession.

Food could be one of the possible levers to combat this situation.
