We are the personal assistant providing freedom and the librarian bringing literature close. We are the home care staff driving to the villages in snowstorms like the midnight sun to be there. We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience working together to ensure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think innovatively, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and compassion. From mountains to city. Today and tomorrow for a living Kiruna. There is something beautiful in that.
