• Unionsgasse 14, 2502 Biel, Switzerland
• Full-time
• Department: Réseau de l'Arc
• Workload: 80 - 100 %
• Start date: 1. September 2025

Company Description
The Réseau de l’Arc is a health organization firmly anchored in the region with around 1’250 employees, ensuring comprehensive care for approximately 80’000 people. It includes two hospitals in Moutier and Saint-Imier, five Medicentres as well as the Medizinische Zentrum Biel (MZB), supplemented by an outpatient network, two nursing homes, two radiology institutes, a center for physical and cognitive therapies, and a home nursing service.

As Switzerland's first fully integrated health organization, the Réseau de l’Arc offers its own health insurance plan as part of the VIVA project, which guarantees optimal and coordinated care for the residents of the Jura Arc.

The Medizinische Zentrum Biel (MZB) stands at the center of this integrated model and unites an interdisciplinary team of general practitioners, specialists, nursing professionals, psychologists, and therapists. It offers a wide range of services – from general medicine and emergency care to specialist consultations, radiology, and laboratory.

The Medizinische Zentrum Biel (MZB) and the VIVA general practitioner practice together form an integrated care system that guarantees patients comprehensive and continuous care. While the MZB, as a regional competence center, offers a wide spectrum of medical services – from primary care to specialized examinations and emergency treatments – the VIVA practice complements this offering through long-term, personal accompaniment of the VIVA health plan insured persons.

The close integration of MZB and VIVA practice enables coordinated and patient-centered care: acute complaints can be treated easily and quickly via the MZB's Walk-in-Clinic, while chronic and preventive health aspects are comprehensively followed up within the framework of primary care in the VIVA practice. Thus, patients benefit from short distances, interdisciplinary cooperation, and sustainable medical accompaniment.
