MARANELLO (MODENA) (ITALPRESS) – Ferrari inaugurated Maranello a Diagnostic Centre, designed to provide advanced prevention and diagnosis services both to its people and to the local community. The Centre, managed by Med-Ex, a historic medical partner of Ferrari, uses the most advanced technologies, thanks also to Philips instrumentation. “The new Diagnostic Centre represents an absolute primacy in Italy: it is the first time that a company not belonging to the medical sector realizes a structure of this level in synergy with public institutions – we read in a note -. A fruitful collaboration with regional and local authorities who found a fertile ground to develop concrete initiatives and proximity to the benefit of the territory and the community.” The initiative was presented today by the CEO of Ferrari, Benedetto Vigna, the CEO of Royal Philips, Roy Jakobs, and the Director General of the USL Company of Modena, Mattia Altini, in the presence of Vice President Piero Ferrari, the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Michele de Pascale, the Mayor of Maranello, Luigi Zironi and the founder and CEO of Med-Ex, Fred Fernando. In the coming days will be signed a three-year agreement with the Company USL of Modena to offer a mammographic screening at the Centre for Women resident in the Municipalities of Maranello, Formigine and Fiorano, with the aim of strengthening the oncological prevention on the territory. Approximately 8,300 exams are planned, according to the timing of regional programmes, whose reference will be entrusted to the specialists of the USL. The Centre is also applying to become an epidemiological study centre thanks to the data pooling activity carried out by Med-Ex, and will propose clinical documentation analysis services remotely (second opinion) in collaboration with the most accredited Italian public medical centres. Ferrari will not retain any usefulness from the Centre, confirming “the will to return value to the territory and promote the growth of local skills. The profit generated by the activity, for the share of competence of Ferrari, will in fact be reinvested in training activities for medical and technical staff, as well as in scholarships for young medical professionals”, continues the note. The Center is equipped with latest equipment, equipped with software with integration of Artificial Intelligence, including a Magnetic Resonance Total Body, a Computerized Spectral Tomograph, a Mammograph with Tomosintesis, a Digital Radiograph with intelligent collimation and a DEXA Osseum Densitometer. “All equipment guarantees quality and performance standards at the highest level, offering more precise, quick and safe diagnosis,” says Ferrari, who continues: “The Diagnostic Centre strengthens Ferrari’s traditional focus on people and their health. A focus, for example in Formula Benessere, the historic welfare program of the Cavallino Rampante, which from 2024 includes a thorough annual check-up (paid in 2025 to over 4,000 employees), and in Formula Benessere Junior, which offers medical assistance to the children of employees (more than 1,000 visits in 2025). From today, with the opening of the new structure, the range of specialist visits to which Ferrari employees have access reaches an unprecedented completeness of care.”“The Diagnostic Centre is a concrete example of co-prosperity: it combines skills, resources and innovation to generate and share value between companies, institutions and communities. We realized in record times – less than two months – a structure thanks to the close collaboration between enterprises, as well as between public and private – declared Benedetto Vigna, CEO of Ferrari -. The new Centre is a project born for people and thanks to people, who left us important teachings. For this reason, I like to remember that it doesn’t count as much the goal of a work, as what becomes realzandola”. “Ferrari stands for speed, precision and performance, values in which Philips is fully recognized – explains Roy Jakobs, CEO of Philips. This project demonstrates that the combination of our leadership in innovation, solid execution capacity and the centrality of people can speed up progress in healthcare, strengthening prevention, enabling more early diagnosis and broadening access to high-quality care. Together we transform vision into concrete actions to benefit local communities, offering better care to an ever greater number of people.” “Thank Ferrari for the choice of continuing to collaborate with our territory and our public system, investing its resources in a new structure that will be at the service not only of the employees of the company, but of the whole community – explains Michele de Pascale, President of the Emilia-Romagna Region -. It is an additional example of how in Emilia-Romagna institutions and private realities know how to play team at the service of citizens and citizens. For the Emilia-Romagna Region the protection of the right to care and prevention will increasingly be a priority, which will guide all our policies in the health, social and not only. Whatever reality you want to accompany us on this road, you will find us ready to collaborate in a profitable and beneficial way.” “Today a new public health infrastructure is taking place, with a very concrete goal: bringing high quality prevention closer to people. This public-private collaboration strengthens the public system, because it is charged with significant costs and allows to reinvest resources in innovation, services and competitiveness. This is exactly the type of partnership that the healthcare system needs: transparent, oriented to the common good, measurable in the results,” says Mattia Altini, General Manager of USL Modena.
