SPECIALIST PHYSICIANS IN INTERNAL MEDICINE TO AVESTA HOSPITAL

About the clinic:
Avesta hospital is a small county hospital that provides health care to residents in southern Dalarna and northern Västmanland. A few years back we merged the emergency department and the clinics for medicine, geriatrics and rehabilitation which provides us with fantastic conditions for a fast and efficient handling in the entire care chain - from the emergency department, via wards to rehabilitation in the patient's home. 

The hospital has 45 beds divided between the emergency department, internal medicine and the department for acute geriatrics, stroke and rehabilitation. The emergency department is open 24/7 and handles approx. 18,000 patients per year. The specialized outpatient care is a large part of the every day work where we receive patients and perform assessments within e.g. cardiology (echocardiography, Holter-type system, ambulatory blood pressure measurements, TEE, stress test), endocrinology, nephrology including hemodialysis, gastroenterology (gastro and colonoscopies), sleep tests (breathing recordnings and polysomnographies) and dementia assessments. 

We also do general internal medicine assessments and geriatric assessments and treatments such as bone marrow sampling, ultrasonic drainage, lumbar punctures etc. In addition to comprehensive inpatient paramedical care the clinic also has day rehabilitation and home rehabilitation. In total the clinic has 200 employees within different professions.
