Values and mission statement
An integrated treatment concept
Our Paulinenkrankenhaus is a modern specialist hospital with an internal medicine department. We treat patients from the postoperative phase after thoracic interventions until they are discharged into in-patient or out-patient rehabilitation or allowed to go home.
Our joined-up treatment processes guarantee that our patients benefit from an integrated treatment concept.
A small hospital with state-of-the-art diagnostics
The Paulinenkrankenhaus has 148 beds, 127 of which are in our 5 normal wards while the intensive care unit (ICU) has 21 beds equipped with highly specialised apparatus. All the ICU beds have ventilator capabilities.
We achieve our high quality of care thanks to our scientifically based guidelines and standards, and complement this professional quality with human care and attention. Our staff are always ready to listen to patients and their family members.
