Have you
got a minute?
I’ve got
something
I need
to tell you,
Ms Gnägi.
When conversations start out this way, it's usually
not clear in which direction the talk might go. We’ve
all been there before: You’re not entirely sure if
you’re about to hear something you’d rather not
know or even discuss. Or perhaps it’s some positive
news after all?
Either way, suddenly you’re all ears because starting
out a conversation this way is a sure-fire way to
grab someone’s full attention. It is for me anyway,
as a trained lawyer and passionate hostess at our
health centre. I'm an optimist by nature. That almost
always helps. The start of the conversation quoted
in the title of the article was actually the beginning
of a compliment.

New Specials for your health
One of our guests, who I met at our tea bar, came
up to me and said: “Have you got a minute? I’ve
got something I need to tell you, Mrs Gnägi. I’ve
seen and experienced a lot both professionally
and in my private life. But I have never experienced
the warmth with which I have been cared for here
by all members of staff. Everyone here is so
incredibly nice. That's unique, so I just wanted to
say congratulations!"
Why am I sharing this story with you? Such
compliments make me very happy and also make
me so very proud of our entire Park Igls team. And
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of
our dedicated employees. I know that in addition
to our high level of medical and therapeutic
competence, it is precisely this cordiality that is
also a decisive reason why people come to us in
Igls again and again to actively do something
positive for their health in an environment offering
utmost discretion.
In the meantime, stay healthy! And do leave me a
message letting me how you liked this issue.

Sincerely yours,
Andrea Gnägi (MA) & the Park Igls team
