The mission of the AKH is to provide high-quality medical care, with the well-being of the patients at the center. The values of the organization include Respect, Integrity, Mutual Appreciation, Understanding, and Tolerance. It aims for cooperative and trusting collaboration at all levels[1][3].

Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the AKH shows commitment to social initiatives.

Additionally, the AKH was awarded "Family-Friendly Company" in 2017, indicating a commitment to social responsibility[1][3].

The AKH remains active in medical advancement, as shown by the 9th Viersen Cardiology Symposium, where current guidelines in cardiology and vascular medicine were discussed[3]. Furthermore, neonatology continues to be developed to treat high-risk pregnancies and premature infants[3].
