Hirslanden now Official Medical Partner of Corinne Suter

The 2022 Olympic downhill champion, world champion and multiple World Cup winner wants to be back among the world’s top athletes next season. She’s relying on Hirslanden’s comprehensive sports medicine in training, competition preparation and recovery to help her get there. This involves everything from preventive diagnostics and physical performance analyses to comprehensive medical support to promote health and performance.

‘Our collaboration with Corinne Suter exemplifies our commitment to provide athletes – and all patients who place their trust in us – with personalised, holistic care based on the highest level of medical expertise,’ says Niowi Näf, Chief Strategy Officer of the Hirslanden Group.

Long-standing collaboration

With this personal partnership, Hirslanden is building on its long-standing collaboration with Corinne Suter, which began as part of its involvement with Swiss-Ski. Corinne Suter placed her trust in Hirslanden’s medical expertise last year after tearing her cruciate ligament: she had surgery at the Klinik Hirslanden in Zurich and underwent post-operative rehabilitation at Sports Medicine St. Anna im Bahnhof in Lucerne, among other places.

Corinne Suter says: ‘I’m delighted to deepen my partnership with Hirslanden. The intensive support and professional medical care and the established team spirit give me confidence and enable me to reach my full potential on the slopes.’

Commitment to Swiss sport

The Hirslanden Group counts sports medicine as one of its core areas and maintains partnerships with elite athletes and major sports clubs. In addition to supporting Swiss-Ski and an array of top teams in the world of football, ice hockey, volleyball and handball, Hirslanden is also the official medical partner of athletics world champions Mujinga and Ditaji Kambundji.

The Hirslanden Group offers targeted expertise in preventive healthcare in elite and popular sports to help people at all levels improve their fitness and health in line with their personal goals.
