What Gesundheit Arosa does

Gesundheit Arosa AG is the municipally-backed umbrella healthcare organization for the alpine Arosa-Schanfigg valley in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. Incorporated on June 3, 2019 following a citizen vote on November 25, 2018, and operationally consolidated on January 1, 2020, it integrates four operating divisions under a single Aktiengesellschaft: Medizinisches Zentrum (primary and emergency general practice with in-house pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, ultrasound and ECG equipment), Alterszentrum (40-bed residential care home offering long-term, short-term and day/night care plus barrier-free holidays), Spitex Arosa-Schanfigg (home nursing and basic care covering nine villages: Calfreisen, Castiel, Lüen, St. Peter, Molinis, Peist, Langwies, Litzirüti and Arosa) and Ambulanzstützpunkt (24/7 emergency response operated on behalf of Rettung Chur, executing ~400 deployments per year). Revenue is generated under Switzerland's regulated healthcare financing framework, combining KVG-mandated health insurance payments (Krankenkasse), cantonal subsidies (Kanton Graubünden), municipal contributions (Gemeinde Arosa) and capped patient co-payments; 2026 tariffs are published for both Spitex KLV categories (CHF 91.50-118.30 recognized cost) and Alterszentrum daily rates (CHF 189-212). Services are distributed direct-to-consumer through physical facilities, mobile Spitex teams and the 144 emergency number, with no proprietary technology platform, no software products and no AI/ML components. The customer base is the residential and tourist population of the Schanfigg valley, with marketing executed via the company website, Facebook, Instagram and partnerships with Arosa Tourismus and Gemeinde Arosa. Leadership comprises CEO Raffaela Kühne, CFO/Deputy CEO Regine Lehmann, and a Supervisory Board chaired by Alois Vinzens (succeeded by Barbara Janom Steiner effective July 1, 2026).
