Dr Robert Schorn, MD, is to become the new Head of Nephrology and the Dialysis Centre

Dr Peter Reinhard was awarded the Remo Largo Honorary Prize by the Swiss Society for Developmental Paediatrics for developing the parents’ support programme at Zollikerberg Hospital. This weekly, free programme, run by the Department of Neonatology and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, supports parents during the first few weeks after the birth.

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.

With effect from 1 August, Angela Scalese has taken on the newly created role of Head of Communications and Marketing at Gesundheitswelt Zollikerberg. The new position forms part of a strategic reorganisation: the Foundation’s Executive Board has decided to pool existing resources more effectively and to merge the communications and marketing departments of the Foundation’s Executive Board and the hospital into a single division.
