The whole municipality on one ranked list: 4 health centres in Östhammar (Uppsala County) by the Vårdbetyg – a combined score from the National Patient Survey 2025 and the National Board of Health and Welfare’s waiting-time statistics, with an open method. The score is not a raw average but is adjusted for the number of responses, and units with too little data are never ranked on guesses – they are shown as “too few responses”.

The Vårdbetyg is on a 0–100 scale. Response rate and number of responses show how large the basis is – more responses give a more reliable score. The trend shows patients' overall impression 2015–2024 from the earlier national survey and is not directly comparable with the Vårdbetyg score. The survey is not run every year in every region, so the points are the unit's actual measurement years. Units with only one yearly result are shown without a curve.

In Östhammar, 9.8% of residents aged 65 or over received health care that the municipality is responsible for during September 2025, such as home health care or care in a nursing home. In Sweden as a whole the share was 9.0%.
The share among those who have home help and among those who live in a nursing home, 2025.
| Measure | Östhammar | Sweden |
|---|---|---|
| With home help | ||
| Ten or more medicines at the same time | 36.3% | 32.0% |
| At least one medicine that should be avoided | 8.6% | 7.9% |
| In a nursing home | ||
| Ten or more medicines at the same time | 30.6% | 38.6% |
| At least one medicine that should be avoided | 2.7% | 5.8% |
Medicines that should be avoided are those the National Board of Health and Welfare considers to carry a higher risk of side effects in older people, such as some sleeping pills, sedatives and painkillers. Many medicines at once can be right for the person taking them, but the risk of side effects goes up. In a municipality with few older people, a handful of people can move the share by several percentage points from one year to the next.
