St. Olavs Hospital, the 1902 building, is the original Trondheim hospital, which was established in 1902. The building has undergone rehabilitation in connection with the hospital development on Øya, which was completed in 2008. This hospital is part of the public health system and aims to offer comprehensive health services to the population.
The hospital focuses on professional development and research, with particular emphasis on innovation and education within the health system. It offers laboratory services and expertise services, which are important for both patient treatment and the education of health personnel. To safeguard patients' rights, the hospital has a user committee that gives patients a voice in decision-making processes. In addition, various activities are arranged to engage the local community, which helps to strengthen the ties between the hospital and the residents.
