In our hospital, the focus is on people – as a whole – with body, mind and soul. An illness or accident has a major impact on inner balance and poses a challenge for those affected and those around them.

Focus on the individual: holistic care

We focus on a holistic, compassionate, and respectful approach to care, as taught and practiced centuries ago by Saint Vincent de Paul, the namesake of the hospital.

Tradition and innovation: The Vincentian mission

Our sponsoring organisation, the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Francis of Assisi, is a member of the Sisters of Mercy. St. Vincent de Paul, based at the Mutterhaus in Zams, has embodied the philosophy of the Vincentian mission for generations. With an extensive network of facilities in the medical, social and educational fields, they have created a framework in which the timeless values of the order remain alive.

Our values: Charity, care and respect

The values of charity, care and respect form the basis of our work. Combined with professional experience, innovation and modern care and treatment methods, we ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.

Our values are

Sincere respect

Cordiality and respect for others give confidence and prestige. Human dignity and freedom are inviolable.

Compassionate love

Loving care for everyone is not a gesture of superior generosity, but elementary humanity, which we all need. It opens the senses to the needs of the other person and motivates solution-oriented action. We respect individuality, independence and holistic needs.

Serving one another

Everyone has something to give, but everyone also has their limits. If we serve each other, support and complement each other, we can achieve great things together: in the service of the common cause. We express our solidarity through mutual connection and shared responsibility for one another.

The variety of shapes and colours – from bright red to orange, ochre and yellow to plain grey – is intended to help individuals recognise themselves. This applies to all facilities and locations operated by the Order. For employees as well as patients, residents, clients and relatives who need help and care.
