HyMy Village (short for Hyvinvointia Myllypurosta, or Wellbeing from Myllypuro) is a people-centered and multidisciplinary learning and development environment where innovations and services are born through inspiring collaboration. This authentic learning environment enables Metropolia students to gain future skills and provides working life with the competent professionals it needs. We offer diverse and affordable wellbeing and healthcare services for everyone \u2013 easily and accessibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At HyMy Village, students practice key professional methods in customer work, individual service design, new service concepts, and innovative development. Our operations are multidisciplinary, and our students also take part in developing the activities. Our services are overseen by supervising teachers, who are professionals in the healthcare field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I work at HyMy Village as a planner, and I\u2019ve been employed at Metropolia for about a year. My role is very versatile, including both operational and strategic tasks. No two days are alike. In short, I coordinate HyMy Village\u2019s activities and services and take part in its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HyMy Village offers a wide range of services\u2014from head to toe. We can examine clients\u2019 and patients\u2019 situations from a multidisciplinary perspective and offer a variety of services. We recognize that many of our services are particularly beneficial for elite athletes. For example, we have a top-level motion laboratory that conducts walking and running analyses as well as isokinetic muscle strength measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the students\u2019 perspective, HyMy Village is a great learning environment where they have the opportunity to interact with elite athletes and consider their specific needs from the viewpoint of their own field of study. Additionally, one of HyMy Village\u2019s strengths is its ability to provide a genuine and flexible learning environment. When needed, we can create tailored study implementations. Flexibility and customized study modules can help elite athlete students combine their academic studies with high-level athletic goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had never participated in a process like this before, so it was a great opportunity to be involved and to learn something new. I contributed to writing the self-assessment text from the perspective of HyMy Village\u2019s activities. I mapped out what HyMy Village offers to elite athletes from both client and student perspectives. The goal of the self-assessment was to identify our opportunities and think about how we could further develop our operations. Since innovative development is at the core of what we do at HyMy Village, it is essential that we continuously reflect on what HyMy Village could be in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of the audit process included participating in the audit interview and presenting HyMy Village\u2019s facilities to the audit group during their visit to the Myllypuro campus. A big thank you to the entire Metropolia sports team for the excellent collaboration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though I\u2019ve previously known how unique and valuable HyMy Village is, the audit process made visible just how great the work we\u2019re doing really is. We realized that we offer a vast number of services that especially benefit elite athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The audit process encouraged us to genuinely examine what HyMy Village offers elite athletes, both as clients and students. We were able to list the services available to athletes. Now, HyMy Village is in a much better position to initiate collaboration discussions, and we are more aware of our potential for supporting elite athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
