A successful thank-you event for our volunteers
October 29, 2024
The annual thank-you event for our volunteers took place on 28 October 2024. We were delighted by the many registrations and the evening was a pleasure. New contacts were made at the drinks reception. The scenic reading "Our Souls at Night" by Kent Haruf was a source of humour and food for thought: Closeness, loneliness, second chances and the freedom to enjoy life regardless of the opinions of others were central themes. The message: no matter what people think - you can't let anyone spoil your happiness.
After the reading, the event continued with a joint dinner at the Oase restaurant in the Hottingen retirement centre. The conversations were lively and various speeches expressed appreciation for the commitment of the volunteers. As a parting gift, there were "Nerven-Guetzli" - a symbolic thank you for the valuable work that volunteers do for patients, residents and tenants every day. A gesture that was met with cheerfulness - something that volunteers often experience in their work.

Nephrolithiasis: everything you need to know about kidney stones at a glance
Kidney stones are a common health problem, affecting up to 10 per cent of the population over the course of a lifetime. If kidney stones migrate into the ureter, they can cause severe colicky pain. If they do not pass spontaneously via the bladder, treatment by a urologist may be necessary. The development of kidney stones is favoured by various factors. In addition to dietary habits and insufficient fluid intake, metabolic disorders can also be the cause in some patients. If kidney stones occur repeatedly or at a young age, further clarification by a nephrologist in a specialised consultation is usually advisable. In this way, possible metabolic disorders can be recognised and treated in a targeted manner in order to reduce the risk of stones forming again.
