Each disease has a certain stage and the levels at which you can follow the progress of the disease. Conventional medicine responds to the question about the cause of our diseases, but the anthroposophic medicine is trying to find the cause of our recovery.

One of the reasons for our well-being is a comfortable environment without various oppressing factors. That is the purpose of the transitional care - a cross between inpatient and outpatient care. Employees specializing in transitional care collect and analyze as much information about the patient as possible in order to prevent difficulties during rehabilitation later, up to support by social care workers and the purchase of supplements.
