history

The St. Antonius Hospital was opened on December 3, 1901 with 50 beds. Demand was already growing in the 1920s: in 1926 the hospital received a 5-storey extension. At the beginning of the Second World War , the house was confiscated as a hospital and used to care for the wounded until the end of the war.

From 1946 the hospital was reopened for civilian patients and was expanded again in 1951. In 1953 the hospital was converted into a "specialist institute" with the main departments of internal medicine and surgery and the departments for children, skin, women, ENT, and eyes. In 1960 a new farm building with a heating center, laundry, locksmith's shop and carpentry shop was built.

In the mid-1960s, it was decided to replace the more than 60-year-old house with a new one and to expand it further. Approval was granted in 1966, and a topping-out ceremony was celebrated on September 6, 1967. In 1968 the main department for urology and pediatric urology was established. A year later, the children's nursing department was converted into a school for general nursing in order to be able to train nurses in the future. On June 28, 1969, the inauguration of the new hospital was finally celebrated and the old ward block was then torn down. A nurses' home was built on the site of the former hospital in 1975/76.

The 1980s were marked by numerous renovation and restructuring measures. In 1990 the house was expanded to provide acute care, and in 1993 a limited liability company was founded to support the hospital. In 1995 an outpatient nursing and geriatric care service was set up and in 1996 the St. Antonius-Stift was opened. In 2002, the St. Antonius Hospital was comprehensively renovated and the pathological institute was housed in an old building. In 2004 a new building was built, which today houses internal medicine, endoscopy and physiotherapy. The health center with outpatient care, founded in 2002, was extensively expanded in the 2000s.

In 2010, extensive construction was again carried out: the hospital chapel received a new building and the health center was expanded. In 2014 the hospital forecourt was redesigned.

The hospital also has an abdominal center for acute abdominal diseases, the pelvic floor center northwest / continence center for incontinence diseases, the prostate center northwest for diseases of the prostate , a center for outpatient surgery and a trauma center.

Prostate Center Northwest

The Prostate Center Northwest (PZNW), founded in 2004, is one of the clinic's most important facilities. Four da Vinci® robots are used in the PZNW for prostate, bladder and kidney operations. To further improve the surgical results in the treatment of kidney tumors , doctors at the PZNW have been using the novel fluorescence photo detection in conjunction with the da Vinci® robot since 2012. In 2011, the center carried out around 1,200 operations with a da Vinci® robot-assisted operation, and around 15,000 have been since it was first used in 2006. One focus of the PZNW is basic medical research. For this purpose, the European Robotic Institute (ERI) was founded in Gronau in 2011, a research and simulation center for robotic and robot-assisted surgery.
