We have been working on this for several years and also conduct research in the field. The goal is to collectively work throughout the health center to increase many patients' functionality and quality of life and enhance patients' ability to manage their issues. We also work to increase preventive efforts and avoid medicalization.

We are an academic health center with a growing commitment to research across several professions.

Other focus areas include elderly health/our elderly care unit, training of younger colleagues, e-health, and we are now also an HBTQI-certified health center. The basic structure of the health center is good, which facilitates daily work.
