Join us for a tour

When Skandionkliniken was built, the ambition was to create an environment unlike traditional healthcare facilities. An environment where architecture, art, color and light interact to create calm and provide energy. All based on the motto that environment and health are linked. In the same building as the clinic is the Hotel von Kraemer, where many patients stay for several weeks while undergoing proton beam therapy. The guide is Bibbi Good, who received treatment at the clinic in 2020.
