What Keski-Uudenmaan sote-kuntayhtymä does

Keski-Uudenmaan hyvinvointialue (Keusote), formerly Keski-Uudenmaan sote-kuntayhtymä, is a Finnish public welfare region (hyvinvointialue) established under Finnish law as part of the national social and health services reform (sote-uudistus) effective from 1 January 2023, replacing the prior municipal federation structure. The organization provides statutory social and healthcare services, rescue services, and coordination of specialized medical care to approximately 200,000 residents across six municipalities in Central Uusimaa — Hyvinkää, Järvenpää, Mäntsälä, Nurmijärvi, Pornainen, and Tuusula — employing over 4,200 professionals across physical sote-keskukset (health and social service centers) in each municipality. Service lines include primary healthcare, dental and oral health, mental health and substance abuse services, child and family welfare, elderly care, disability services, and home hospital (kotisairaala) operations.

Keusote's service delivery platform combines physical service points with a digital infrastructure built on BeeHealthy's SuomiSote platform (a subsidiary of Mehiläinen, selected by nine Finnish welfare areas). The OmaKeusote mobile application and web portal provide residents with chat-based communication with professionals, video appointments, appointment booking, lab result access, and proxy capabilities for managing family members' affairs. Keusote is piloting AI-assisted NLP features in social welfare client work — approximately 40 professionals use the tools for summarizing client records and retrieving information from long documents — and has announced the introduction of digital workers. Notably, Keusote has developed a comprehensive multidisciplinary pain management care pathway for primary healthcare that, per the source material, has no equivalent full-region model elsewhere in Finland or internationally.

As a publicly funded welfare region, Keusote derives revenue primarily from central government funding allocated on the basis of population size, health needs, and statutory criteria, supplemented by regulated statutory customer fees (asiakasmaksut) subject to national annual caps (maksukatto). The organization is executing a 66 million euro productivity and financial efficiency program targeting savings by end-2027 — including up to 295 person-years reduction and 10-day layoffs during June–December 2026 — to address a 125 million euro accumulated deficit from 2023–2024. The 2025 fiscal year produced a +€8.3M positive operating result. Keusote supplements its mandate through strategic partnerships with HUS for specialized medical care, with Työterveyslaitos and Keski-Uudenmaan TE-palvelut on the ESR+ KEKO work ability project (€557,815, 2026–2028), and with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health on the Ponnari youth drug-death prevention project (€280,000).
