What Zürcher RehaZentren does

Zürcher RehaZentren, operating commercially as Klinikgruppe Valens, is a private Swiss rehabilitation clinic group providing inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services across a network of 13 stationary and ambulatory locations in the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, including Chur, Davos Clavadel, Gais, St. Gallen, Valens (headquarters), Wald, Walenstadtberg, Walzenhausen, and Zurich (Triemli outpatient plus a new inpatient clinic under construction), supplemented by partner facilities Clinic Bad Ragaz, Klinik Lengg, and the Zentrum für Schlafmedizin Zürcher Oberland. The group serves approximately 11,000 patients annually with 2,300 staff, delivering care across nine specialist medical departments organized into four core service modules — medical specialties, nursing, therapies, and counseling & training — plus a home-based care offering called Valens Casa. Clinical content is supported by a research division (Valens Research with its Research Board and publications) and an education division (Valens Academy, which runs CAS Leadership programs). The business operates within Switzerland's regulated reimbursement framework (SwissDRG for inpatient, TARMED for outpatient) with insurance-based billing; no proprietary technology stack is disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by physician referrals managed through a dedicated Patientendisposition and Zuweisermanagement function, with additional direct inquiry, brand presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and participation in healthcare education fairs such as the OBA. The group holds multiple quality certifications (Swiss Leading Hospitals member, 6-Star Quality Recognition, TOP Quality Label, Friendly Work Space) and was awarded Best Employer Switzerland in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
