The Protestant Bethesda Hospital was founded in 1894 on Wüstenhöferstrasse (then Kuhstrasse) in the Protestant diaconal tradition. The Traugott-Weise special school has been located in this building since 1980. In 1971, the Bethesda Hospital moved into a newly built purpose-built building for 400 beds at Bocholder Strasse 11–13.

In 1999 a cooperation began with the Catholic Philippus Foundation in Borbeck . In 2002 the Bethesda Hospital became part of the non-profit Diakoniewerk Bethesda gGmbH Wuppertal, which had acquired a majority stake in the Essen house. In 2004, the Philippus Foundation joined the Essen-Nord Catholic Clinics , which until then consisted of the Marienhospital Altenessen and the St. Vincenz Hospital Stoppenberg.

In 2004 an outpatient operation center was set up. The number of beds at Bethesda Hospital was reduced to 177 in 2004 and to 145 beds in 2005. The house had general and visceral surgery, trauma and reconstructive surgery, hand and foot surgery, nuclear medicine, gynecology and obstetrics.
