HOLIDAY DIALYSIS
Holiday guests are very welcome for holiday dialysis treatments by the Lake Zurich. We speak several languages and are happy to also take care of the well-being of international dialysis patients. Our dialysis center can be reached by the S7 railway along the shore of Lake Zurich directly from Zurich-Stadelhofen within 18 minutes, located only 300 m from the train station.  The Lake Zurich region offers enjoyment and relaxation.  The picturesque little town of Rapperswil with its impressive castle is also worth seeing, only 15 minutes from our dialysis center.
