Clinic for Internal Medicine

Our specialised palliative care unit on the outskirts of Zurich offers you compassionate and holistic care. Our focus is on alleviating your suffering and maintaining your personal quality of life in the best possible way.

As a patient, you and your family members are at the centre of our interprofessional palliative care team. We perceive you as a whole and treat you individually. The guiding principle "It's not about giving life more days, but about giving days more life" characterises our everyday life and reflects the core values and goals of our palliative care.

There for you with expertise and humanity

Our specialised team is made up of experienced professionals from the fields of medicine, nursing, psychology, pastoral care, social work, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and nutritional advice. Together with you and your family and loved ones, we develop interprofessional, customised solutions that will accompany you through your phase of illness and improve your quality of life.

We not only alleviate physical complaints, but also take care of your psychological and spiritual concerns. Through an active dialogue with you and your family and loved ones, we respond to your individual wishes and needs. In doing so, we respect life in its wholeness and finiteness. Discover how we implement holistic palliative care.

We will be happy to answer any questions or provide information about your stay on our specialised palliative care ward.

Your single room on our specialised palliative care ward

Our specialised palliative care ward offers you a place of peace in eleven single rooms with a view of the park. You can also personalise your room with individual elements, such as pictures. Visitors and relatives are welcome at any time, as we do not have set visiting hours. In consultation with the caring team, your family member can also stay overnight in your room. The light island on the ward also invites you to linger together and an additional meeting room is available for discussions.
