The Social Service at the MHH

Illness and hospitalization are a particular burden for every person, which often has an impact on their previous life situation and everyday life. If this gives rise to questions, concerns, the need for advice and clarification, we are the people to contact. Our services are free of charge for you and all our staff are of course bound by confidentiality. As an interdisciplinary team, we offer you assistance by advising and supporting you on social law, psychosocial and aid issues. Based on the"Discharge Management Framework Agreement", we have created structures that should contribute to your satisfaction, meet the requirements of the healthcare system and ensure quality of care.

You will find our office in building K05 - level 01 - room 0180, directly above patient admission.
