The governors of Sardinia and Tuscany have discussed programmatic convergences, emphasizing the implementation of ‘community houses’ (case di comunità) and the strengthening of family medicine to provide patients with reliable local points of reference. In Tuscany, the regional government is actively evaluating territorial services through site visits to facilities like the Casa della Comunità HUB in Pian d’Ovile.

In the Pistoia mountains, opposition leaders and community committees are protesting the potential loss of emergency services at Pacini Hospital.
