The Eifel Clinic St. Brigida is a hospital in private ownership in Simmerath in North Rhine-Westphalia Aachen region .
history
In 1909 a provisional hospital was set up in the old Simmerath parsonage on the initiative of the then district administrator of the Monschau district as the first hospital for the eleven communities in the district. Four nuns of the Cellite nuns worked here at first . Elisabeth . The hospital was named after the Irish saint Brigida von Kildare . In 1913 the St. Brigida Hospital with 40 beds followed as a new building, which passed into the possession of the Cellitinnen in 1927.
After several extensions, the number of beds rose to a maximum of 224 beds in 1977. In January 1997 the Cellitinnen handed over the hospital to Malteser Deutschland gGmbH . The hospital was now called the St. Brigida Maltese Hospital .
After the hospital ran into financial difficulties, the Maltese sold it to the private Artemed Kliniken GmbH in August 2010 . The Archdiocese of Cologne tied the sale of the hospital to a private agency on the condition that no contraceptive measures (e.g. IUDs, morning-after pills) would be prescribed there and that no abortions would be carried out. The Aachen city region , which was also interested in taking over the hospital, did not want to accept these conditions. After the takeover by Artemed, the name was changed to Eifelklinik St. Brigida .
Contrary to initial fears of further consolidation, Artemed invested an eight-figure sum in the hospital and was able to successfully achieve structural change. In addition to basic and standard care for the Eifel population, the clinic management also focused on specializations by recruiting renowned chief and senior physicians. Today, the center for peripheral veins in particular has a supraregional reputation, and the center for orthopedic surgery is now the largest provider of artificial joints and spinal surgery in the entire Aachen city region.
structure
