History
![Alt](../I/m/Klinik_Hirslanden_Zuerich_2009.jpg)
The name Hirslanden comes from the Klinik Hirslanden in Zurich opened in 1932 and was at that time located in the Hirslanden district (today Weinegg). The Hirslanden Private Hospital Group was launched in early July 1990 by merging the Hirslanden Klinik with four hospitals then owned by the AMI Group (American Medical International): Klinik Aarau (opened in 1988), Klinik Beau-Site in Bern (opened in 1945), Clinique Cecil in Lausanne (opened in 1931) and Klinik Im Park in Zurich (opened in 1986).[1][11] The majority shareholder of the newly formed group was UBS.
In the following years, the group acquired many other private clinics: Klinik Permanence in Bern in 1997 (opened in 1978), Clinique Bois-Cerf in Lausanne in 1998, Klinik Belair in Schaffhausen and AndreasKlinik in Zug in 2001, Klinik Am Rosenberg in Heiden, Klinik Birshof in Basel and the Salem-Spital in Bern in 2002, Klinik St. Anna in Lucerne in 2005, Klinik Stephanshorn in St. Gallen in 2010, Klinik Meggen and Clinique La Colline in Geneva in 2014.[12][13]
Within the Group's shareholders, two major changes can be noted so far: in 2002, the British investment group BC Partners Funds took over UBS[14] and sold the Hirslanden Hospital Group to the South African Mediclinic Corporation in 2007.[15][16]
