Overview

Höglandssjukhuset is an emergency hospital located in Eksjö, Sweden, and forms part of Region Jönköpings län (Jönköping County Council). It is described as a modern acute-care hospital and one of the largest county hospitals in Sweden. The hospital's origins trace back to the mid-19th century with the establishment of the Ulfsparre-Hägerflychtska hospital in Eksjö. In 1975, the hospitals in Eksjö and Nässjö were merged under the name "Eksjö-Nässjö lasarett," and the current name was later adopted, linked to the geographical concept of the Småland highlands (Småländska höglandet).

Its official website offers information about services available at the hospital in Eksjö and at Nässjö vårdcentrum (Nässjö care centre), including maps, directions, dining options, and patient guidance.

As a publicly owned healthcare institution, it is not a commercial company but a regional public service entity.
