L’Alfàs del Pi has been the first town in Alicante province to prescribe physical exercise to its patients at the local health centre. The Councillorships for Health and Sport provide health workers different local programmes for physical activity and health promotion for their patients. The town is a member of the Friendly Towns Network for Elderly People, Xarxa Salud, the 4th Valencian Community´s Health Plan and the Spanish Network for Healthy Cities, a basic framework that sets a map for carrying out Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development objectives (ODS, in Spanish).
The health management model being offered is based on the diversity and distinction among public and private local health centres, also being a resource for larger health centres close by, such as Benidorm Clinical Hospital, Levante Hospital (IMED Levante) in Benidorm or the Marina Baixa hospital in Villajoyosa. Multipurpose clinics and health centres offer an array of services with medical personnel specialized in physiotherapy, dentistry, podiatry, acupuncture, dieticians, chiropractors and opticians among others, along with centres focused on health excellence that offer top level beauty and aesthetic treatments using oriental medicinal and relaxation techniques or residences focused on relieving the symptoms of specific medical conditions thanks to the privileged climate that l´Alfàs del Pi offers, making it the perfect place to treat these ailments. All these in different languages and adapted to the various cultures of the residents and visitors of our town.
