history

In 1996 the Marienhospital Altenessen and the St. Vincenz Hospital Stoppenberg merged to form the Catholic Clinics Essen-Nord , and in 1999 the Catholic Philippus Foundation in Borbeck began to cooperate with the Protestant Bethesda Hospital in Borbeck. Five years later, the Katholische Kliniken Essen-Nord was expanded to include the Philippus Foundation Borbeck as a holding company , before the Bethesda Hospital had to be closed for economic reasons in 2006.

In 2009 the final merger of the Katholische Kliniken Essen-Nord with the Philippusstift Borbeck took place. In 2012, with the renaming of the Katholische Kliniken Essen-Nord to the Katholisches Klinikum Essen, a uniform corporate image was introduced. The shareholders are the three Catholic parishes in Altenessen, Borbeck and Stoppenberg, as well as Kosmas and Damian GmbH , an investment and development company for the long-term security of Catholic hospitals in the diocese of Essen .

Since 2014 the medicoreha Welsink Academy with its state-recognized technical schools for physiotherapy and occupational therapy has been carrying out practical training for its trainees in the Catholic Clinic in Essen. On January 1st, 2015, the Catholic Clinic in Essen founded the "Patient College"; the model for free advanced training specifically for patients has since been promoted nationwide with other non-profit clinics such as the Dortmund Clinic. For participation in the lectures and for successfully completed exams, there are ECTS credit points (European Credit Transfer System points), as with normal studies.

The Catholic Clinics in Essen have been part of the Contilia Group since 2018.
