Klinikum Westfalen GmbH

About Klinikum Westfalen GmbH

The Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen... belong to the major health partners in Germany. One name, four good hospitals in the region. This was and is the guiding principle that led to the merger of Knappschaft Kliniken Dortmund and Knappschaft Kliniken Lünen in 2010. At the beginning of 2013, Knappschaft Kliniken Kamen followed as another strong partner. In 2015, the former Evangelisches Krankenhaus Lütgendortmund came under the umbrella of Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen. Added together, these four hospitals have more than 430 years of tradition in healthcare. The Knappschaft-Bahn-See, as the largest shareholder, fits perfectly with this, also against the backdrop of social history development. Important roots of the network also lie in the health commitment of the cities of Lünen and Kamen and the Protestant Church or the Volmarstein Foundation. As an employer with 2,339 employees and diverse training opportunities, the Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen are also a significant economic factor in the region. Outpatient and inpatient basic and specialized care for more than 150,000 patients annually is provided in the four hospitals. The range of treatments covers almost all diseases. In many specialist areas, from cancer medicine, lung diseases, diabetology, geriatrics and geriatric traumatology to sports medicine, the network offers outstanding expertise, including through certified centers. The Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Lütgendortmund site also offers a comprehensive range of services. Patients can expect high-quality treatment in the Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen, from diagnosis through therapy to aftercare. Numerous certificates document this. The Cancer Center and the Centers for Breast, Lung, Bowel, and Prostate Cancer have long been certified according to the strict guidelines of the German Cancer Society. The Tumor Conference is the central interface. Every individual case is discussed there by specialists from all four hospitals. The network is certified with all hospitals according to the high KTQ standard, as well as other centers and departments such as the Heart Center, Diabetes and Endoprosthetics Centers, Weaning Centers, Geriatric Traumatology Units, Stroke Unit, and Chest Pain Unit. Certifications and several seals in the area of hygiene underscore that the well-being of the patient is the focus of all efforts by the employees of the Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen. The broad acceptance and high reputation of the Knappschaft Kliniken Westfalen are contributed to by the excellent medical standard, well-trained nursing staff, modern technical equipment, innovative solutions, and a structurally contemporary presentation of the hospitals in attractive park landscapes. Medicine oriented towards the individual and holistic patient care is prescribed by the mission statement for all employees. Adherence to the patient's will and intensive engagement with ethical questions are important to us. The patient is always at the center.
