Sopukka Wellbeing Centre
Emergency department, patient clinic, laboratories, dental care, rehabilitation,
occupational health, physiotherapy, family care, mental health services and social
services
Finance: EUR 22,000,000
Target population: Population of Sodankylä and wider Central Lapland
Rationale for investment: Replaces old 1960 building and offers space for new services.
Received special approval from the ministry of social affairs and health.
Issues faced by the municipality: Declining and aging population
Social Evaluation Team's rationale: The evaluation team found the justification for the
project very well founded. The circumstances in Northern Finland are exceptional due to
the long distances, and regional challenges are considerable. Special emphasis is placed
on providing remote appointments. Sopukka's operating model will boost the use of
expert resources, make the healthcare supply chain more effective, considerably improve
the safety of the region's inhabitants and increase the region's attractiveness.
