The health fund, politicians, Kages and Diakonie invited guests to the "mission statement" presentation of the new Stainach Clinic on Monday evening. Anyone hoping to learn something new was disappointed. There were no answers to important questions, such as those about the social contract. There is a lot going on in the background.

"The name is the result of a three-stage competition," according to the documents distributed to the media on Monday.
