Centre for Mental Health
"No health without mental health. At Zollikerberg Hospital, we see people as an indivisible whole and treat them with a basic bio-psycho-social understanding. This also includes paying attention to the mental aspects of physical illness and regaining health in mental crises." Dr Ruedi Schweizer, Medical Director of the Centre for Mental Health
The psyche is an essential part of our health. That is why it is also part of our integrated, holistic healthcare. Our Centre for Mental Health is a collaboration between Zollikerberg Hospital and the Hohenegg Private Clinic.
