The Lukaskrankenhaus , operated by Rheinland Klinikum Neuss GmbH , is a hospital in the Neuss stadium district . The city of Neuss and the Rhein-Kreis Neuss are responsible in equal parts . The Lukaskrankenhaus is the largest hospital in the Rhine district of Neuss and has been an academic teaching hospital of the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf since 1977 .
history
The hospital was built between 1909 and 1911. Between 1920 and 1938 the hospital was expanded to include an infant home, an ENT ward, a TBC ward and an enlarged infection house. On September 19, 1939, the entire building was confiscated and converted into a hospital . The main building was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War . The main building was rebuilt in 1950. From July 1, 1966, the hospital was initially called "Hospitals Neuss - Lukaskrankenhaus". After the establishment of the Städtische Kliniken Neuss - Lukaskrankenhaus GmbH by the city of Neuss on January 1, 1987, the hospital was named "Städtische Kliniken Neuss - Lukaskrankenhaus - GmbH" and in 2019 the name "Rheinland Klinikum Neuss Lukaskrankenhaus" was merged.
Cyber attack
The Lukaskrankenhaus was the victim of a “cyber attack” with attempted blackmail in 2016. A Trojan horse paralyzed the hospital's computer system. The perpetrator or perpetrators smuggled what is known as ransomware into the e-mail server. It was a new type of malware that constantly changed its signature. Almost 30 other clinics in North Rhine-Westphalia were affected. The hospital gained nationwide attention, in particular through the crisis management of its managing director Nicolas Krämer.
fusion
A possible merger of the Lukaskrankenhaus with the two municipal hospitals in the Rhine district has been discussed since 2017. In the course of 2018, the plans became more concrete. At the end of March 2019, the district council of the Rhein-Kreis Neuss and the Neuss city council decided to merge. With retroactive effect from January 1, 2019, Rhein-Kreis Neuss Kliniken GmbH was merged with Städtische Kliniken Neuss - Lukaskrankenhaus - GmbH to form Rheinland Klinikum Neuss GmbH. This means that the “new” clinic will be one of the ten largest municipal hospitals in Germany and the largest in the Rhineland.
Facility
The house has a total of 537 beds in 13 specialist departments. The house includes, among other things, obstetrics and the only children's clinic in the Rhine district of Neuss. In 2018, the hospital cared for around 90,000 outpatients and 29,500 inpatients.
The Medicoreha Welsink Academy , with its state-approved technical schools for physiotherapy and occupational therapy , conducts practical training for 450 trainees in the Lukas Hospital .
