Project title

The Well-being Power Plant of Eastern Finland

Description of initiative

The Well-being Power Plant of Eastern Finland develops comprehensive well-being services, enhances know-how related to these services and strengthens collaboration between research and development, education and work-life. At the background of the network of collaboration is the need to increase the well-being of the residents of the area and to take care of the strength and availability of qualified professionals in the region.
The emphasis of the Well-being Power Plant (VOIMALA), which was founded in 2018, targets collaboration between social, health, well-being and cultural fields. In multiprofessional well-being services cultural know-how is integrated as a part of the education, execution and management of social and health services. The activity of Well-being Power Plants is based on adopting a comprehensive and systemic thought model. The operational model is not bound to place or region, but per se duplicable both nationally and internationally. The most important aim of the network is having a social impact; enhancing pervasive well-being and its development in a multi-operator collaboration.
