The St. Josef Hospital is a hospital in Linnich ( Düren district ).
history
The hospital was founded in 1888 as a nursing home by the Christian Women Cooperative . It had 50 beds. In 1917 the number of beds was doubled. Before the beginning of the Second World War , the hospital was converted into a reserve hospital. It was completely destroyed shortly before the end of the war. After the reconstruction, operations could be resumed at Christmas 1945.
Between 1974 and 1991, laparoscopic surgery was further developed by the then head physician Friedrich Götz to enable appendectomy, removal of the gallbladder and operations on inguinal hernias using the "buttonhole technique". As a result, the hospital received a lot of media attention.
Due to declining numbers, the gynecology and obstetrics department was closed in 1990. In 1999 a new operating theater and a new intensive care unit were inaugurated.
Today, the hospital includes the departments of surgery , internal medicine , anesthesia and ENT . In 2005 the hospital employed over 300 people and had 180 beds and 10 dialysis beds; in 2008, after modernization measures, there were 270 employees with 140 beds. In 2004, 4,616 inpatients were treated, 10,053 patients received outpatient treatment and 4,567 inpatient dialysis was performed.
In 2002 the Christian women handed over the management of the house to Caritas Trägergesellschaft West GmbH .
From 2005 to 2014 Jann Habbinga headed the St. Josef Hospital Linnich as head of administration for nine years.
