Working together for a strong healthcare region
Healthcare is changing: patients are increasingly being cared for along treatment pathways and across organisational boundaries. In the Zurich region, on the right bank of Lake Zurich and in the Zurich Oberland, this networked care is already a reality. Männedorf Hospital, Uster Hospital, Zollikerberg Hospital and the Hirslanden Clinic in Zurich work closely together. They demonstrate how different areas of expertise can contribute to safe, high-quality care that is close to home.
