About the Operations

Primary care in Region Jämtland Härjedalen is organizationally part of Division Close Care, along with Ambulance, Public Dental Care, Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Primary care is organized into 4 close care areas, and since January 2022, primary care and ambulance healthcare have been integrated under "good and close care." Each close care area is an economic unit led by a business manager. Primary care is also responsible for the region's healthcare advice service, youth clinic, and the close care ward Näva, all of which are grant-funded.
