RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG integrates Salze Klinik I Bad Salzdetfurth into its
hospital network, thus adding a geriatric focus to its medical services
offering
Bad Neustadt a.d. Saale, 20 May 2010 --- On Thursday the purchase agreement
between representatives of the Lielje Group and the Board of Management of
RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, Bad Neustadt, was notarised. The hospital Group
headquartered in the Rhön thus integrates Salze Klinik I into its hospital
network and broadens its medical offering in Lower Saxony to include this
geriatric focus. The parties agreed to maintain secrecy regarding the
purchase price.
'In a society with a greying population, more and more people are looking
for medical services meeting high standards. It is therefore important to
meet such demographic trend with a medical offering tailored to the
particular needs of patients, especially elderly patients and those with
multiple illnesses', said Wolfgang Pföhler, chairman of the Board of
Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, explaining the decision for Salze Klinik.
Salze Klinik I Bad Salzdetfurth operates the acute geriatrics, geriatric
rehabilitation, as well as cardiological and orthopaedic rehabilitation
departments with a total of 165 beds.
The structure of geriatric medical care in Lower Saxony with its
integration of acute geriatrics and geriatric rehabilitation in 'geriatric
centres' is distinguished from most concepts in other federal states within
Germany where geriatrics is based either exclusively at the hospital or
exclusively - or primarily - at rehabilitation facilities. This is in
contrast to concept adopted in Lower Saxony - largely developed in
collaboration with the head physicians of Salze Klinik I - under which both
disciplines are brought 'under one roof', because geriatric patients are
right in-between these two sectors.
Moreover, Salze Klinik I offers qualified after-care of cardiological and
orthopaedic patients as part of their follow-up treatment, making it
possible to implement a tailored treatment concept based on both acute and
rehabilitation care needs without any time lag. Within the catchment area
of the Bad Salzdetfurth site, RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG operates the acute hospitals
in Hildesheim, Salzgitter, Gifhorn and Herzberg with roughly 1.700 beds. In
future, these facilities will work closely together with Salze Klinik.
Staff will be taken over
Currently, about 150 full-time staff work at Salze Klinik I who will
continue to be employed after the takeover by RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG.
RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG is one of the largest healthcare providers in Germany. Its
corporate objective is high-quality medical care for everyone. Currently,
our Group counts 53 hospitals at 42 sites as well as 29 medical care
centres (MVZs) throughout Germany. We employ more than 36,000 persons. In
financial year 2009, roughly 1.8 million patients were treated in the
Group's facilities.
