Our credo: Sustainability through value-based action in otorhinolaryngology

What is our credo?

The values that guide our decision-making are set out in our credo. Simply put, our credo calls on us to put the needs and well-being of the people we serve first. Prof. Dr. Marcus Maassen, founder of the ENT Center Lucerne, defined a mission statement in 2006 that stands for the value-based actions of the team members at the ENT Center Lucerne. At its core, it is a mission statement that is binding for all team members at the ENT Center. Based on the conviction that the well-being of the patients comes first, the credo defines the values that form the basis of the existence of the ENT Center Lucerne. Responsible commitment to patients, guideline-based medicine, the principle of sustainability and, last but not least, social responsibility form the basis for our team, now and in the future.
