Humanity and a feeling of security are central
Due to growing requirements in terms of the admission, nursing and care of patients, it was necessary to enlarge the existing SUVA Clinic in Sion. The new building, inaugurated in February 2015, extends the Clinique Romande de Réadaptation (CRR) rehabilitation clinic. The research departments can be merged and the sports medicine section reinforced. Space for labs and offices was planned in order to accommodate a Chair for Neurosciences for the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. The well thought-out distribution of space gives patients a feeling of security and well-being. Humanity and a feeling of security are the top priorities.
