What Oma Häme does

Oma Häme (legal name Kanta-Hämeen hyvinvointialue) is a Finnish public welfare region established in January 2023 as part of Finland's national social and healthcare reform (sote-uudistus), headquartered in Hämeenlinna. It is the statutory provider of public social services, healthcare, and rescue services for all residents of the 11 municipalities of the Kanta-Häme region in southern Finland (Forssa, Hattula, Hausjärvi, Humppila, Hämeenlinna, Janakkala, Jokioinen, Loppi, Riihimäki, Tammela, Ypäjä), and operates under regional government governance with an elected council and appointed regional manager Olli Naukkarinen.

Operations span three regional hospitals—Ahveniston sairaala (Assi) opened in March 2026, Forssan sairaala, and Riihimäen sairaala—alongside health centres, social service offices, and home hospital services in Hämeenlinna, Forssa, and Riihimäki. Service delivery includes the GerBiili mobile diagnostic unit for elderly and mental-health patients in care facilities, and a digital layer comprising the Oma Häme mobile application, chat services, video consultations, digital pre-visit questionnaires, the Digipolut digital care pathways, and the Aimo AI assistant (a knowledge-retrieval tool grounded in approved public web content with no diagnostic function or customer-data access). The organization is integrated with the national OmaKanta patient portal and Suomi.fi messaging system, and wholly owns the support services subsidiary Oma Hämeen tukipalvelut Oy.

The revenue model is entirely public-sector: approximately €828 million in annual state government financing for 2026, supplemented by contributions from 11 member municipalities on population-weighted formulas and regulated statutory client fees that cover only a portion of actual service costs. Pricing is dictated by Finnish law with no commercial flexibility; client fee schedules apply to outpatient, hospital, surgical (day-surgery, short-stay, inpatient), elderly, and remote-consultation services. The entity runs at a deficit, with €85 million in accumulated deficits to be covered by end-2029 (extension granted by the Ministry of Finance in 2026) and a separate minimum savings requirement of €67 million by the same date, set against national welfare-area financing cuts exceeding €695M. Core partners include Sydänsairaala, Coxa, Fimlab, Tuomi Logistiikka, the City of Hämeenlinna, the Hämeenlinna-Vanaja Parish, Pikassos, and the European Social Fund (co-financing the KokoOma child welfare project).
