Hildegard palliative care centre successfully relocated to Bethesda

We are delighted to announce that the relocation of the Hildegard Palliative Care Centre to Bethesda Hospital has been successfully completed. Around 80 employees and our patients have found their new home at Bethesda. With this step, we are officially expanding the portfolio of Bethesda Hospital and together we are creating a modern, appreciative space for specialised palliative care in north-western Switzerland.

The Bethesda Hospital Palliative Care Centre stands for holistic, multi-professional care that always focuses on your needs and those of your family and loved ones. We combine highly specialised medical care with individual, human warmth - both as inpatients and through our mobile palliative care team.

With the integration of the former Hildegard Palliative Care Centre, we benefit from almost 40 years of experience and expertise in palliative care. This wealth of experience forms the basis for providing our patients with the best possible quality of life and supporting them in their individual phase of life.

We would like to thank all staff, patients and relatives for their support and patience during the move. Your co-operation has enabled us to make this important step a success.

Visit our website to find out more about our offers and services, order one of our newly designed brochures or contact us directly. We are here for you.

teleBasel - Broadcast diagnosis from 21.06.2023: Palliative care

The decision in favour of palliative therapy does not mean that life is coming to an end. However, palliative care is often understood in common parlance as "treatment in the last weeks of life", which is not quite true. teleBasel accompanied the deputy head physician Dr Karin Jaroslawski for a day in the palliative care centre and shows what happens in a palliative care centre.

P.S.: The programme was recorded in the old premises of the previous Hildegard Palliative Care Centre. The content and procedures at the Bethesda Hospital Palliative Care Centre are identical.
