County health care operations are conducted at three hospitals and at a number of receptions located in several locations in the county. The area has approximately 700 employees.

It is a completely new form of care with both round-the-clock care and a small amount of outpatient care that is planned to start on December 1 2023 and the operation will be located at County Hospital. NHV is care that is complex or rarely occurs. Care for the current target group will be conducted at five locations in Sweden and these NHV units will collaborate on research and development.
