"Reform and hospital models in Castile: the case of the Fernández de Velasco family (1374-1517)", artículo del investigador Raúl Villagrasa-Elías.

Researcher Raúl Villagrasa-Elías has joined as substitute professor in the Department of Historical Sciences at the ULPGC and as collaborating member at IATEXT

He has recently published an article in the journal Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies, the Magazine of the University of Salamanca,  titled "Reform and hospital models in Castile: the case of the Fernández de Velasco family (1374-1517)" where he makes a re-evaluation of the reform processes of the healthcare frameworks through the experience of the Fernández de Velasco family.

The study shows that the hospital reform processes went beyond institutional fusion, a strategy that has monopolized the historiographic debate. Furthermore, it is a clear example that the interest in adapting healthcare systems was a concern that went beyond the walls of the main cities of the Crown of Aragon and that predated the Catholic Monarchs in the Crown of Castile. In addition, it reveals an example of transmission of hospital models at the regional level (Burgos-Medina de Pomar-Briviesca) and within the family (Medina de Pomar-Briviesca).
