Annually, around 50,000 patients receive inpatient or outpatient treatment at fmi AG hospitals.

In addition, the Hospital Group Bernese Oberland has grown into a center of excellence for numerous specialized areas. This includes, among others, a specialized center for the musculoskeletal system, including sports medicine and spinal surgery, a department for visceral surgery, as well as modern dialysis and oncological stations, acute-geriatric care, many therapeutic and advisory services, a state-of-the-art radiological diagnostic facility, departments for ear, nose, and throat care and cardiac diseases, and an interdisciplinary sleep lab.

In the region between Lötschberg and the large Alpine passes of Susten and Grimsel, a large part of the medical needs of community members and vacationers alike are met without having to travel long distances. Close collaboration with the University Hospital in Bern, participation in the Bernese Oberland radio-oncological center and membership in the Center for Breast Cancer, allow Hospitals fmi AG to be closely connected in a network of ultramodern medical services. Considering the geographical size of our service area with its long distances, this is a definite advantage for our patients.

The emergency services organized by Hospitals fmi AG are exemplary. A modern fleet of rescue vehicles is always ready for emergencies at the health care centers in Frutigen and Meiringen, as well as the rescue center in Interlaken. In cooperation with private ambulance services (Adelboden, Grindelwald, and Lauterbrunn), Hospitals fmi AG offers a wide range of treatment services and times. In addition, the Swiss rescue air service, REGA, and the Air Glaciers, “the knights in shining armor,” are quick to help.

A good medical infrastructure is not only of great importance to the community. Tourism, too, depends on optimal medical services, because more and more vacationers and tour operators select their vacation destinations based on the availability of good medical services. Today, one in five patients treated by Hospitals fmi AG, on an inpatient or outpatient basis, is a Tourist.
