Our strategy

Our vision
Leading healthcare together
HUS is the largest provider of specialized healthcare in Finland.
Together with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki and other universities and educational institutions in the region, we are by far the largest scientific actor and educator of healthcare personnel.
Together with all HUS employees, our owners, and other collaborators we can solve the challenges in healthcare and social welfare and offer leading healthcare to our clients.
We want all our patients and clients to be proud of us.
Our strategic goals
Our strategic goals guide the implementation of the strategy in practice. From our goals we also derive the objectives and indicators to be monitored annually.
For 2023–2027, we have set five strategic goals: patient experience, employee experience, co-operation with wellbeing service counties, continuous improvement and renewal and sustainable economy.
Our promise
Better care, for every patient, every day.
As Finland’s leading university hospital, it is not good enough for us to be good; we want to be the best, the pioneers of medical care. That’s why we want to improve every single day. We are making our promise to each of our patients and customers. The promise encourages us to learn new things and go to work – every day, every shift.
Values guide our operations every day
Caring
The core of health and medical care lies in a genuine presence. We always care for our customers, colleagues and cooperation partners with appreciation and kindness.
Pioneership
As Finland’s leading healthcare operator, we have the opportunity and the obligation to be a forerunner. Only by doing research and continuously developing can we ensure the high quality and effectiveness of care.
Equality
At HUS, everyone gets comparable treatment based on medical needs. We treat our personnel and stakeholders equally and ensure equal availability of services regionally and linguistically.
Responsibility
We bear our share of the responsibility for the functioning and capacity of entire Finland’s health care system.

Future hospitals
Our goal is to provide both the personnel and customers with modern, safe and functional facilities that meet the operational requirements.
