Avesta Hospital is a small county hospital offering primary care for residents in southern Dalarna and northern Västmanland. The hospital has a merged clinic comprising emergency care, internal medicine, geriatrics, and rehabilitation. This provides good conditions for fast and efficient care, from the emergency department to inpatient wards and further to rehabilitation in the patient's home. The hospital has approximately 40 beds distributed across an acute care ward, an internal medicine ward, and a ward for acute geriatrics, stroke, and rehabilitation. The emergency department is open 24/7 and treats approximately 20,000 patients per year.

A large part of the operations involves specialized outpatient care, offering various clinics and investigations, such as cardiology (echocardiography, Holter monitoring, blood pressure measurements, TEE, stress tests), endocrinology, nephrology (including home dialysis), gastroenterology (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), sleep medicine (nocturnal respiratory recordings and polysomnography), and dementia investigations. Additionally, general internal medicine and geriatric investigations and treatment are offered, including bone marrow biopsies, pleural and ascitic taps, lumbar punctures, and more. The clinic also provides extensive inpatient paramedical care, as well as day and home rehabilitation. In total, we have 200 employees in various professional categories. We place great emphasis on education, and our goal is to be Sweden's best junior doctor school, which has contributed to us often ranking high for medical placements in the AT ranking.
