Clinics in Hürth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Kürten - monument

Hürth , a city with just under 58,000 inhabitants, has a remarkably dense and specialized supply of clinics and clinic-like facilities that are oriented beyond the local area . This is partly due to historical reasons, partly also due to the proximity to the Cologne economic area.

Medical care before the First World War

In the 19th century , medical care in the rural area of ​​the mayor's office in Hürth was poor. There were only hospitals in neighboring Brühl (first hospital in 1866) or in Cologne for inpatient treatment of serious illnesses or for operations . Anyone who was not among the rich was treated in Hürth by the poor doctor Arnold Kürten (contract of employment dated February 28, 1869) in Hermülheim.

Gradually, based on the urban model, the first nurses' offices, some of them also active in outpatient nursing , came into being through initiatives by various religious communities . This was available in

hospital

In 1914/15 the first municipal hospital was built in the mayor's office in Hürth. The hospital at the headquarters of the administration in Hermülheim was built on a plot of land and a money fund for the construction donated by landowners and factory owners of the developing industry in the Rhenish lignite area and some private individuals.

The hospital could be built despite the war. Since then, it has treated patients from the mayor's office in Hürth (since 1930 Hürth municipality) and many other places in the area. It was also significant as a maternity hospital. A number of celebrities were therefore born in Hürth. The nursing service in the new house was taken over by the sisters of the Order of St. Augustine , the Cellites . The last Cellitinnen returned to their parent company in Cologne at the end of 1970. In March 1971, eight Korean nurses started their temporary service.

After the Second World War , the house was enlarged by 80 beds to 140 beds in 1951/53. Since the industry and with it the community was expanding, there were already new plans to expand the house further into a modern general hospital and to increase the bed capacity by another 150 beds.

The hospital, which was now municipal after it had been granted city rights (1978) , was sold to the SANA clinics in 1984 because the city was unable to finance the necessary expansion.

Private sponsorship for hospitals

The first private hospitals operated by corporations came into being in Germany as early as 1975. The privatization described here was, however, a novelty for a hospital previously operated in public hands. Hürth was a trendsetter here . The path of private sponsorship that began in Hürth in 1984 , many private hospitals are also part of larger hospital chains, has continued across the region in many municipalities and continues. According to estimates by the German Hospital Association (DKG), there are (2000) 15 private hospital operators.

Sana Hospital

Sana Clinic, Huerth

By Sana Kliniken GmbH hospital of the city of Hurth was acquired for free. Subsidies promised by the municipality totaling DM 5.5 million were linked to the Group's guarantee that the clinic would continue to operate for a period of at least 20 years. Until recently, modern extensions were built around the continuously modernized hospital that has been preserved at its core.

The departments are represented

The house is thus equipped for basic and standard supply . More than 5,200 patients are treated annually (2006). Emergency care is ensured for the city of Hürth. The center for outpatient physical therapy , which is directly adjacent to the hospital, is available to patients as a cooperation partner .

In 2007, the North Rhine Medical Association granted the clinic authorization to continue training in cardiology and gastroenterology , although the small house only handles these disciplines under the internal medicine department. After all, around 2000 gastric and 1400 colonoscopies and 1300 cardiac catheterizations are performed annually.

Specialty clinics

Psychiatric clinics

Hürth - Somnia-Klinik, and St. Ursula Altenzentrum

In 1995 the private Somnia Klinik Hürth opened .

The private clinic is a hospital for psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine with a total of 50 inpatient treatment places in the adult area and 20 inpatient treatment places in the child and adolescent psychiatric department. An in-house day clinic is attached to both departments. We treat patients with a wide variety of psychiatric illnesses, in particular depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, disorders due to mental overload or exhaustion, eating disorders, organic disorders and sleep disorders. Detoxification is carried out for this purpose. Every patient who is insured in a private health insurance or who is entitled to subsidies and whose inpatient treatment is medically necessary, and every self-paying person can be admitted to the clinic. A sister clinic is located in Mönchengladbach .

Today the Somnia Klinik Hürth belongs to Oberberg GmbH and is operated under the name Oberberg Somnia Fachklinik Köln Hürth .

Next to the building of the therapy center for thyroid diseases, a new psychiatric day clinic was built in 2006/7 . It was officially opened on November 16, 2007. The clinic is a branch of the psychiatric specialist clinic of the Marienborn Society in Zülpich , which is also responsible for the care of patients in the southern Rhein-Erft district . The sole shareholder of the non-profit society is the Cellitinnen Foundation , which also operates three hospitals in Cologne. 15 patients can receive their local follow-up treatment and therapy after a doctor's referral or after inpatient treatment. In crisis situations, direct outpatient treatment in the day clinic is also possible. The € 2.3 million building was subsidized with state funds of € 1 million.

Treatment focuses on patients with depression, anxiety disorders and other psychoses. Treatment methods include occupational therapy, music therapy and sports therapy, and the nurses and nurses are also trained in psychiatry.

The Salus clinics Huerth GmbH opened on November 2, 2009 in Huerth (managing the clinics was always in Hürth-Stotzheim and pulled until 2014 in the clinic building) near the swimming pool and the Willy-Brandt-Platz a clinic for rehabilitation of Alcohol and drug addicts and for the treatment of patients with anxiety and eating disorders. The investment volume was almost € 20 million. The architect was Bernd Römer from Cologne. The clinic has 174 beds, 120 of which are for drug or alcohol addicts and 54 for psychosomatically ill patients with psychoses or depression. 80 to 100 people are to be employed, 60% of them doctors. Currently (2010) the clinic's team consists of around 50 people. Construction began in December 2008 and the topping-out ceremony took place on June 3, 2009. The GmbH has been operating clinics in Brandenburg, Hesse and the Sauerland for 15 years. The clinic in Arnsberg , which had become too small, was closed when it opened in Hürth. 22 employees were taken over from there. The clinic trains psychological therapists with a focus on behavior therapy. The clinic was expanded in 2013/14 to include the buildings of the nearby thyroid clinic. In the nine apartments, addicts are “rehabilitated for normal life”.

Also since November 2009, the private Janus Klinik Hürth in Alt-Hürth has been offering inpatient therapy with 34 beds and treatment as a day clinic specializing in psychotherapy / psychosomatics, oncology and psycho-oncology. Traditional Chinese medicine is also offered in pain therapy and naturopathic treatments.

Former therapy center for thyroid diseases

Hürth - Former therapy center for thyroid diseases

The therapy center for thyroid diseases near the school and sports center was built in 1995 according to plans by the architect Johannes Mronz and opened in 1996. The clinic with 18 beds was the first private nuclear medicine clinic in Germany. The clinic had to file for bankruptcy in April 2013 and the buildings were taken over by the Salus clinics in mid-October, and another building on the property, in which a child psychosomatic facility in cooperation with the university clinic and the Rita Herford Foundation Center to be set up want to expand. "Apartments for social rehabilitation" were set up in the old building. The administration from Stotzheim has also moved in here.

Operation centers

A gynecological practice clinic with minimally invasive surgery has been located in the Hürth shopping center since 1982 . This clinic consistently pursues the concept of an outpatient surgery that is as painful and stressful as possible for the patient , but also offers an aftercare area with 9 single bed places for one patient and 1-2 accompanying persons.

The currently newest clinic has been HÜRTHMED since 2012 , an outpatient and inpatient orthopedic / trauma surgery center. It also offers neurosurgery on the spine and sports traumatology and is located opposite the shopping center in the wing of the building on Theresienhöhe. 7 patient beds are available in the inpatient area.

Inpatient care homes

Historical

One of the early facilities in Fischenich is the St. Josefs House on the site of the old castle ruins. It was run by the Augustinus Cellitinnen since 1907/1908 , initially as a boarding school for girls. In addition, rooms were made available for an infant and orphanage from 1915. A kindergarten also existed until 1922, but from 1924 the house served exclusively as a retirement home . In 1960 the facility had 75 places in homes for women and men, including care places for sick people . A first old people's home of the Caritas Association Cologne was set up in the manor house of the Weilerhof between Fischenich and Brühl with 38 places. In November 1945 it was named Dreikönigenheim Weilerhof . It was abandoned in the 1950s.

Today's facilities

Hürth, Rudi-Tonn-Altenzentrum

In the mid-1970s, the " Rudi-Tonn- Altenzentrum" was created for around 150 residents. 20 years later a new house was built, in which 118 elderly people now live and are cared for. The facility has 116 residential care places, 2 short-term care places and 42 adjoining apartments for the elderly. The old people's center is supported by Arbeiterwohlfahrt Mittelrhein eV

Caritas operates three other geriatric care centers :

  • Elderly Center Sebastianusstift in Gleuel from 1973 with 85 inpatient care places
  • St. Ursula senior center in the same building as the Sommnia Clinic (since 2005) with 94 care places
  • Senior center Anna-Haus in Hermülheim next to the Sana Clinic since 1994 with 181 care places with a special care area for dementia patients

Almost all homes have attached residential groups for senior citizens who do not (yet) need care, as well as places for short-term care.

In addition, there is an evangelical retirement home in Efferen (without care area), supported by the Antoniter settlement society with its focus on "living in old age".

hospice

The Hospiz Hürth eV was founded on January 28, 1998 as the seventh establishment of the Erftkreis hospice associations. Full-time and volunteer employees work there in the outpatient hospice service . In the long term, an inpatient hospice is also planned. The Erftaue house in Erftstadt- Liblar , which is run jointly with the Marien-Hospital Erftstadt-Frauenthal Foundation, and the St. Katharinen Hospice in Frechen are currently in the Rhein-Erft district as inpatient hospices .
