What's in a Name?

At Lurepa, every detail is thoughtfully considered - right down to our name and slogan.

Lurepa is a combination of letters: 'lure på'.

Lure på in Norwegian means wonder.

In looking back, Lurepa, perfectly sums up the mix of emotions we felt during our time at the hospital.

It's hard to put into words, but when you find yourself in a hospital, faced with devastating news, there's a lingering sense of wonder. It's the kind of wonder that makes you think about how to heal something broken or protect the ones you love. And yet, if you take a step back and observe, you'll be amazed by the incredible individuals you encounter. It's a feeling of astonishment mixed with admiration, inspired by something beautiful, unexpected, and unfamiliar—this is where wonder resides. Why? Because you don't know their story, the news they've received or delivered that day, or the magnitude of their struggles. Yet, you see their unwavering presence and their tireless efforts with everything they have. Parents, children and all of the hospital staff gave us a sense of wonder.
So to the question as to the reason why we are called Lurepå - it is because we are left in wonder and today we are filled with gratitude
