Chef Pepe Rodríguez of Masterchef visits the Institute Guttmann and prepares a tasting menu as part of the 60th anniversary

Pepe Rodríguez, renowned chef and executive director of Sodexo, visited the Institut Guttmann as part of the 60th anniversary celebrations. The chef, who has earned a Michelin star at his restaurant, El Bohío de Toledo, and is also connected through his career to the judges of the television show MasterChef, offered a unique gastronomic experience for professionals, patients, and families with a surprise menu created especially for the occasion.
The visit was made possible thanks to a collaboration with Sodexo, the company that manages the Institut Guttmann Foundation's catering service, which made it possible for patients, families, and professionals to enjoy this very special day.
After the tasting, the chef visits the hospital facilities and greeted patients, family members and professionals with his characteristic, cheerful and charismatic spirit, arousing great sympathy and sharing memorable moments with everyone who wanted to be photographed with him.
With these initiatives, the Institute Guttmann consolidates the program of activities commemorating its 60 years, with the aim of strengthening the bond between patients, families and professionals, promoting healthy habits and contributing to a more pleasant and positive hospital experience.
This activity also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), by promoting activities that improve quality of life and foster social inclusion. It also aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which, in Articles 25 (Health) and 30 (Participation in Cultural Life, Recreation, and Sport), upholds the right of these individuals to comprehensive care and opportunities to participate in cultural and social activities on equal terms.
