The BDH-Klinik Waldkirch is a primary care hospital with 108 beds. Since April 1, 2019, the BDH Bundesverband Rehabilitation based in Bonn has been the sponsor .

history

The previous hospital goes back to a hospital fund of the Margarethen monastery, the date of which is not known. The monastery existed around 918, the hospital church was first mentioned in 1178. In 1809 the poor hospital was converted into a hospital. Sisters of the Order of St. Vincent von Paul, of whom the first arrived on November 3, 1853. On September 14, 1874, the foundation stone for a new medieval hospital building was laid in Freiburger Strasse , which was inaugurated on October 16, 1876. In 1913 a second floor was added to the building.

former Waldkirch hospital, St. Nikolaus hospital

In the course of a further expansion planned from 1953, it was decided not to continue operating the hospital due to its location on the busy street and its dilapidated condition. For this purpose, the Brother Klaus Hospital was built on the Hehrebühl and inaugurated in May 1956. St. Nikolaus was closed on May 31, 1956 and has served as a retirement home ever since.

The Franziskus GmbH in Freiburg, which later became the Congregation of the Franziskanerinnen Erlenbad eV in Sasbach, was responsible for the Brother Klaus Hospital. In addition to 175 beds in the internal medicine and surgery departments as well as in a gynecology / obstetrics department, the hospital had a sanatorium on the third floor . A nursing school was built in a neighboring extension.

By 2001, as part of a complete renovation of the building, the planned beds were reduced to 110, the functional areas were expanded and an interdisciplinary optional service station was set up on the third floor. The 40 beds in the sanatorium had already been given up after 1972, which made space for use by the hospital.

Since April 1, 2019, the Bruder Klaus Hospital has been part of the BDH Federal Rehabilitation Association as the BDH Clinic Waldkirch . In addition to continuing surgery and internal medicine, it was initially planned to continue neurology in cooperation with the BDH Clinic Elzach. In the meantime, however, there are plans to relocate the inpatient treatment offer of the Lunenfachklinik Klinik St. Blasien in the Waldshut district, which is around 75 km away, with an intermediate care station for ventilation weaning to Waldkirch , probably in 2020 in order to use synergy effects.

education

Until 2003, nurses and nurses were theoretically trained at the nursing school of what was then the Bruder-Klaus-Krankenhaus. With the reform of the Nursing Act, the school was closed and training was relocated to Freiburg.

The BDH-Klinik Elzach has had a state-approved school for health and nursing assistants since 2001 and trains around 20 students to become state-approved health and nursing assistants every year . Even then, part of the practical training (6 weeks) for the trainees took place in the surgery department of the Brother Klaus Hospital. After its takeover by the BDH Bundesverband Rehabilitation, the school was relocated from Elzach to Waldkirch with the start of training on October 1, 2019 in order to offer the trainees a more attractive location. The practical training continues to take place in Elzach.
