Klinikum Lüdenscheid

The Märkische Kliniken GmbH is a municipal hospital association based in Lüdenscheid and was founded in 1975 – making it one of the first hospital GmbHs in Germany. With its three locations – the Klinikum Lüdenscheid, the Stadtklinik Werdohl and the Marienhospital Letmathe – it is a key player in healthcare in the Märkischer Kreis, a region with around 430,000 inhabitants[2][4].

The Klinikum Lüdenscheid, with around 900 beds and 29 specialist departments, is a modernly equipped maximum care hospital and thus the largest hospital in South Westphalia. It treats a high number of inpatient and outpatient cases every year and is an academic teaching hospital of the University of Bonn and a cooperation partner of the Department of Nursing Science at the University of Witten-Herdecke. The Stadtklinik Werdohl as a basic and standard care hospital complements the association's diverse range of services and provides comprehensive care for its catchment area[1][2][3].

The Märkische Kliniken pursue the mission of providing holistic, high-quality and patient-oriented healthcare. Their common goal at all locations is to be trendsetting not only in medical care, but also in corporate culture. Innovation, competence and human care are at the heart of their work[4].

Sustainability and regional responsibility are an integral part of the corporate philosophy. As a municipal association, the Märkische Kliniken are committed to sustainable healthcare that meets the needs of the local population. This also includes cooperation with scientific institutions to promote research and quality of care, as well as the promotion of sustainable personnel development in a respectful and motivating working environment[2].

In addition, the association is integrated into a broad healthcare network in South Westphalia, which is supplemented by the Märkische Reha-Kliniken, among others – a leading provider of outpatient rehabilitation and prevention in the region. This ensures a comprehensive care chain from the acute hospital to rehabilitation and aftercare[5].

Overall, the Märkische Kliniken GmbH and its affiliated institutions represent a modern, patient-focused and future-oriented healthcare organization with high professional quality, regional roots and a sustainable orientation – an indispensable partner for healthcare in the Märkischer Kreis.
