Sophiahemmet
Sophiahemmet is a private hospital at Norra Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It is associated with the Sophiahemmet University College. Its connection with the royal family goes back to 1884 when nursing education sponsored by Queen Sophia was still being conducted at the university. The private hospital was constructed in 1889 at its current location.
On 1 January 2016, Princess Sofia, Duchess of Värmland was announced as the new honorary president of the hospital. Her Royal Highness replaced Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson, who served as honorary president since 1972.
