Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equitable welfare and ensure that research and innovation yield results.

The Occupational and Behavioral Medicine Center (AB-centrum) is a university healthcare unit whose overall mission is to prevent, investigate, assess, and address work, environmental, and lifestyle-related health issues. We also have an insurance medicine mission. AB-centrum is one of the largest research and development operations in Region Västerbotten, with research and teaching conducted in close collaboration with Umeå University.

AB-centrum is organized into four departments: Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Behavioral Medicine, Stress Rehabilitation, and Insurance Medical Investigation Unit.

Within Stress Rehabilitation, patients with burnout syndrome are assessed, treated, and rehabilitated. The goal is to improve the patient's health, function, and work capacity. The department employs over 20 staff members from various professions. The operations are conducted in Umeå and Skellefteå.
