The Bethlehem Health Center established by Roland Ritzefeld in the former Kupferhof Steinfeld in 1863 is a basic and standard care hospital and an academic teaching hospital of the RWTH Aachen with around 1000 employees. It has 327 beds for around 14,500 inpatients and 35,000 outpatients annually and is divided into the seven specialist departments of surgery , orthopedics and trauma surgery , gynecology and obstetrics , internal medicine , anesthesia including pain therapy and operative intensive care medicine , pediatrics with children's intensive care unit, radiology and nuclear medicine as well as one ENT documentation department. Since the maternity ward in the hospital in the neighboring city of Eschweiler was closed in favor of Stolberg in 2016, it has been the hospital with the highest number of births in the Aachen region, with more than 1,300 children born here every year.
From 2009 onwards, the Bethlehem Health Center was modernized for 3 years while the clinic was still in operation. The entire facade was moved forward by 2.5 m, which led to an increase in 84 rooms by 8 m² each. On each of the seven floors, 11 patient rooms and 1 service room were enlarged and each room received a modern sanitary area. The foyer was not only relocated, but also completely redesigned and redesigned. The new entrance area with a direct connection to the kiosk and Cafe Essbar is modern, bright, inviting and spacious. By relocating the foyer, it was possible to drive up to three vehicles lying down. Seriously injured patients or patients who are in mortal danger can only be treated in the directly adjoining shock room . The interdisciplinary central ambulance can now be reached from both the patient ambulance and the foyer. Patients can quickly be cared for here by the specialist departments of surgery, internal medicine, orthopedics and trauma surgery, as well as anesthesia and radiology.
Bethlehem Gesundheitszentrum Stolberg gGmbH was sponsored by the Catholic Church Community of St. Lucia, Stolberg, for more than 130 years until 2009. At the end of 2009, the St. Lucia Catholic Church Congregation established an independent church foundation, the “St. Lucia Catholic Church Congregation Foundation”. This foundation is now a partner of the Bethlehem Health Center Stolberg gGmbH.
Until October 30, 2006, the Sisters of the Order of the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis founded by Franziska Schervier performed their service to sick people. Since October 1, 2001, the Catholic character of the house has been supported by the sisters of the Indian order “Sisters of the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (SABS)”.
With more than 170 trainees, the hospital is one of the largest training companies in the Aachen city region.
The emergency medical service of the old district of Aachen is handled by the Bethlehem Health Center and the St. Antonius Hospital Eschweiler on a weekly basis.
On October 1, 2016, the cooperation between the RegioNetzwerk for women and the Eschweiler hospital begins , whereupon the gynecology department in Stolberg is closed and the obstetrics department in Eschweiler, contrary to major protests in the workforce, population and politics, is closed. The aim is also to support the Bethlehem Health Center financially.
