Glarus is a mountain canton with a structure unique in Switzerland: since the municipal reform of 2011 it has had just three municipalities — Glarus Nord, Glarus and Glarus Süd — which together form a single premium region. Primary care is provided by family-doctor practices and the cantonal hospital in the capital; distances in the Glarnerland are short.
