Tertiary health care

Swiss clinics offer their patients competent medical professionals with high skills, latest technology, and multi-faceted treatment concepts in the field of cardiac and visceral medicine, at the same time meeting HSM (Health Systems Management) requirements.

In November 24, 2014, the authorities of the canton of Schwyz published the Register of Medical Institutions 2015. Since 2015, Klinik Im Park is again included in this registry of Swiss clinics with a mandate to work in the field of cardiology and cardiac surgery. Executive Board of the Health Department of the Canton of Schwyz inspected the list of services rendered at Klinik Im Park and found that the clinic complies with all applicable requirements to Swiss clinics and can be included into the Register of Medical Institutions. Conditions for obtaining a mandate for work in the field of heart surgery include the availability of infrastructure and the provision of emergency assistance related to heart surgery. As stated in the Resolution of the State Chancellery of the Canton of Schwyz, Klinik Im Park will continue to receive appropriate support. The management and the staff of Klinik Im Park are extremely pleased that the canton of Schwyz has adopted a favorable decision. On the one hand, this decision means that patients of the canton of Schwyz will receive quality services in the fields of cardiology and cardiac surgery. On the other hand, the inclusion into the Register of Medical Institutions proves that Klinik Im Park meets all the requirements that are applied to Swiss clinics.
