We have a very good work climate, and everyone truly enjoys working together, both in everyday situations and when things get intense – a place where colleagues support each other and celebrate successes together.

We take care of patients with everything from acute surgical diseases, traumatic injuries, and urological issues, to planned surgeries and palliative care beds.
