Home care as an alternative to hospital treatment proves its worth: 750 patients treated in the canton of Zurich

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.

For the past three years, the Zollikerberg Birth Centre has been dedicated to midwife-led, as natural as possible births in a calm and homely atmosphere. It complements the services offered by the maternity clinic at Zollikerberg Hospital. Around 300 babies have been born here since then. Its third anniversary will be celebrated on Sunday 30 August 2026 with an anniversary party. Anyone interested is invited, as are families who have already given birth at the birthing centre.
