About us

Närhälsan Hjo Health Center is located in the picturesque and beloved summer town of Hjo right by the blue waves of Lake Vättern.

Here there are good opportunities for an active leisure life with activities such as hiking, fishing, hunting, sailing, and canoeing, as we have plenty of outdoor areas and are close to Tiveden National Park. We are responsible for approximately 7200 registered patients. The health center has experienced strong patient growth for many years, and the trend continues. Our concept is good accessibility and always the best treatment to meet our patients' needs.

Currently, there are 2 district doctors and 4 ST doctors working here, two of whom are already specialists. We also have a specialist in internal medicine who shares their health center duties with taking on our entire municipal assignment.

In addition to the usual health center services, we also have an assessment clinic, nurse-led specialist clinics, child healthcare, a mental health clinic, and a rehabilitation coordinator who supports the sick leave processes. We also offer a laboratory, medical foot care, and have a dietitian connected to us.

We share premises with both maternity care and rehabilitation clinics, which leads to short paths and very good cooperation. There are also some municipal service facilities under the same roof.

We work with fixed doctor contact, which means that patients are distributed among the doctors based on their birth dates. With you on site, we meet the requirements and quality book guidelines for the number of registered patients per doctor.

During the autumn, we have changed our working methods and developed teamwork at the health center, which means that doctors, nurses, district nurses, and medical secretaries sit down twice a week and together prioritize and schedule patient cases (which have already been triaged to doctors). This has led to us handling patients' issues in a more resource-efficient manner and with the right medical priority, right level of care, and instance. Our hope is also that our continuity will increase and that patients will feel cared for and secure with us as their healthcare provider. The work environment is perceived as better for the entire staff group. The doctors appreciate being involved in managing their schedules and workdays. We are happy to share more about this when we meet.

As an employee within Närhälsan, you are offered various forms of development opportunities, such as through internal training and mentorship programs. At the workplace, we actively work on development efforts to continuously improve working methods and best meet patients' needs.
