ASL CN2
ASL CN2 is the local health authority (azienda sanitaria locale, ASL) operating in the Langhe and Roero area, which includes the municipalities around Alba and Bra, in the Province of Cuneo. The authority is headed by General Director Dr Paola Malvasio.[1]
The «Salute in Piazza» project
ASL CN2 runs the project «Salute in Piazza» ("Health in the Square"), a local outreach initiative that brings the health authority's presence directly into the municipalities of Langhe and Roero, with stops in various town squares. Its stated aim is to offer residents opportunities for information, prevention and health promotion, as well as to introduce the authority's professionals and services, moving outside institutional settings to meet local communities.[1]
The project relies on cooperation between ASL CN2 healthcare staff and professionals, municipal administrations and local associations. A significant contribution comes from the Alba-Bra Hospital Foundation, which provides a mobile clinic (Ambulatorio Mobile) and its own volunteers for the initiative's various stops.[1]
The 2026 award
On 29 October 2026 the «Salute in Piazza» project received a special mention in the Local Communication category at the first edition of the Premio Contronarrazione ("Counter-narrative Award"), promoted by Federsanità as part of the fourth edition of the Stati Generali della Comunicazione per la Salute (National Conference on Health Communication), held in Rome.[1]
Commenting on the award, General Director Paola Malvasio said that communication in healthcare should not be limited to conveying information but must build relationships and trust through dialogue and listening, stressing that the project brings prevention close to people while also making the health authority, its professionals and its activities better known to the public.[1]
