About Mehiläinen

On a Lifelong Mission

Mehiläinen has stood for the highest quality in health and social care in Finland since 1909. We began life as a small hospital, set up by four enterprising Finnish doctors — we have always provided healthcare with heart.

The light that has kept us moving forward is life itself. Messy and glorious, with all its wonders and hardships, twists and turns, endings and beginnings – it is our guiding principle. With life as a mission, there is always important work to be done.

As we have grown and expanded into Europe under the name Meliva, Regina Maria and MediGroup, our people have taken with them the core belief that every person deserves compassionate, professional care. To feel that they are heard, supported, and in good hands. Wherever we are, whatever language we’re speaking — and we are speaking many — we never forget that this started with doctors who wanted to give each person the best possible care. And now, each of our local professionals is held up by a network of thousands of the world’s most knowledgeable and skilful experts, and supported by state-of-the-art digital tools. Together, we foster better health and wellbeing, providing care that is local at heart and global in strength.

Over the course of the last 100 years, the world has changed endlessly, but we remain steadfast. The best care is given by people who know that life is our purpose, our duty, our lifelong mission. Or, as we say in Finnish: elämä tehtävänä
