Hirslanden Clinique La Colline is a Swiss hospital located in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1903, it has been part of the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group since 2014.

History

In 1903, a group of nuns from the Trinitarian Order of Avignon, forced to leave France as a result of religious persecution, took up residence in Geneva. Aided by local doctors, they founded a home to care for sick people of all religious beliefs. This home was Clinique La Colline, and included 15 rooms. In 1904 the first operating room was installed. Geneva doctors schooled the nuns in how to provide medical care. Clinique La Colline’s success meant that it very rapidly became necessary to build an annex, in order to have more rooms, and add a second operating room. The newly-enlarged Clinique La Colline had a capacity of 40 beds. A new wing was added in 1925, and in 1950 the nuns began to be assisted and gradually replaced by laypersons. In 1974, the north wing was extended to accommodate the operating theater and the radiology department, and in 1990 an outpatient clinic, a physiotherapy department and a fourth operating room were added. With the arrival of computers in 1984, the administrative aspects of Clinique La Colline were also entrusted to laypersons. In 2011, it was bought by the families Picciotto, Gherardi and Paul Hökfelt. The clinic then grew consistently with the creation of about 30 associated medical offices and an emergency department in 2012. Subsequently, an extension of the clinic was inaugurated in 2013.

The Hirslanden Private Hospital Group acquired Clinique La Colline for $146 million in 2014.

Stéphan Studer became Clinical Director of Clinique La Colline in 2015.
