Speech therapy
The speech therapy team treats inpatients and outpatients of adult age. The objective is to restore communication skills and/or the ability to swallow and to achieve the highest possible quality of life as well as social and professional (re-)integration.
The initial treatment consists of a speech therapy assessment of the patient's problem and a functional diagnosis. We then define the therapeutic goals together with the patient and draw up an individual treatment strategy.
The speech therapy department of the Zug Cantonal Hospital offers a comprehensive range of therapies in medicine and surgery, with an emphasis on neurology and geriatrics. Our patients are managed in close and direct cooperation with the prescribing doctors of our hospital.
