Haraldsplass Diakonale Sykehus AS is one of three large non-profit hospitals in Norway (the other two are Lovisenberg Diakonale Sykehus and Diakonhjemmet Sykehus). Today we are a local hospital in internal medicine for 141,000 residents in Bergen and Nordhordland county, as well as Gulen and Samnanger. The hospital has a regional function in geriatrics and palliative care (Sunniva Center).

We also have a large surgical clinic that has excelled in several areas, including shoulder, knee and colon surgeries. The hospital offers specialized health services in internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, anesthesiology, radiology and monitoring with associated outpatient activity.

The hospital is an important part of the public health offering through an agreement with Helse Vest RHF, and has a good cooperation with Helse Bergen within our business areas.
