Wernli is already Director of Finance at the Münsingen Psychiatric Center. Martial Seifriz, who was previously responsible for finance at UPD, will be leaving the company at the end of November.
In the run-up to the planned merger, the two institutions want to intensify their cooperation, as they wrote in a joint press release - also with regard to personnel issues.
UPD and PZM are aiming to merge by 2027 at the latest. A feasibility study is currently underway to serve as the basis for this. They plan to present the results to the government council in the first quarter of 2025, as they announced last week.
