Together, they provide a true 24/7 referral service supported by a highly collaborative team of specialists across surgery, diagnostic imaging, internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, oncology, dermatology, and critical care. The northern site also offers hydrotherapy services.

Both hospitals are exceptionally well equipped, featuring a full in-house laboratory suite (including Radiometer), multiparameter patient monitoring, digital radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, mechanical ventilation, underwater treadmill facilities, and on-site CT and MRI. Purpose-built cat and dog receptions, consulting rooms, and wards ensure a calm and efficient clinical environment.
