Visp HospitalFrom monastery to hospital
In 1926, at the request of the church authorities and the municipality of Visp, the St. Ursula convent began building an industrial and domestic school. The missionary activities of the convent required missionaries who were well trained in nursing. For this reason, the school was converted into a modest private clinic with a nursing school in 1934. At the request of a newly formed interest group, the "Sta Maria District Hospital, Visp" was entered in the commercial register as a charitable association just two years later.
In 1941, the Ursuline community and the supervisory board of the new association signed a purchase agreement, with the convent remaining the co-owner and foundation of the hospital. In view of years of disruptive lack of space and beds, several conversions and new buildings had to be realized.
Erstaunlicher Ort mit qualifizierten Fachleuten, die bereit sind, den besten Service zu bieten. herzlich, freundlich und ich bemerkte, wie sie alles mit Zuneigung tun. Für meinen chirurgischen Eingriff könnte es keinen besseren Ort geben. Danke, Team Visp Spital, ihr seid großartig.
