Communication Manager

(Proudly from my team)

Pride and satisfaction are the adjectives that come to my mind when I look back and see the long journey that we’ve made over more than a decade, in order to gain the trust of our audiences (employees, people who occupy leadership positions, the public and the Community in general) about the benefits of an organized, uniform and clear communication in an institution with the infrastructural and social dimension of Centro Hospitalar Universitário São João (CHUSJ).

Our path was filled with obstacles and victories, however, we were always able to maintain our main focus in our primordial task, improving the experience of our audiences with our brand. Resilience in the face of adversity led us till the level we are currently at. That, combined with the implementation of a strong strategy that resulted in the construction of an intimate relationship of trust and respect between our brand and its stakeholders.

Our sureness that an effective communication combined with the exceptional work that is carried out every day at CHUSJ, could raise the reputation of this institution to a stratospheric level, never before known in the Health sector in Portugal, was the fuel that kept this team running, led by Dr. Jorge Jorge, whose ambition, talent and dedication have forged, over the years, the image that São João occupies today in the mind-set of the Portuguese people.

Under the motto: a maximum creative freedom implies a maximum responsibility, particularly when we represent an humongous player in the Health sector of our country, Dr. Jorge Jorge has managed to mobilize his team under the common objective of promoting the good functioning of our institution through communication, as well as informing the community about what are some of the best practices in the Portuguese public health sector.
