Jahresbericht 2020 – auf den Spuren eines aussergewöhnlichen Jahres

Die Spuren sind gelegt. In unserem Jahresbericht zeigen acht Persönlichkeiten aus dem BFI-Bereich, wie sie sich im besonderen Jahr 2020 an vorderster Front im Spital, als Mentorin, Preisträger, Mitarbeiterin oder Mitglied einer Arbeitsgruppe engagiert haben. Gerade auch in diesen schwierigen Zeiten sind dank dem Zusammenspiel von Milizpersonen und Mitarbeitenden aus Spuren neue Wege entstanden. In unserem Jahresbericht erhalten Sie Einblick in innovative Projekte, mit denen wir uns für Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik engagieren. 2020 bleiben wir nicht auf dem Papier - die Spuren gehen über den Bericht hinaus: Richten Sie Ihre Handykamera auf die QR-Codes Ihres Exemplars und Sie werden weitergeleitet auf Videos, Webtexte oder Social Media.
