The
The Herz- und Diabeteszentrum NRW (HDZ NRW) in Bad Oeynhausen is an internationally leading center for the treatment of heart, circulatory, and diabetes diseases. Founded in 1980 and in operation since 1984, the HDZ NRW has developed into one of the largest and most modern clinical centers of its kind in Europe.
The mission of the HDZ NRW is to ensure maximum medical quality and innovation. It places great emphasis on good clinical training and promotes the development of scientific careers[2]. Diversity, tolerance, and fairness are central values in dealing with patients and employees[5].
The HDZ NRW is committed to Diversity Management and participates in the German Diversity Day[5]. It strives for close cooperation with other medical facilities to strengthen the regional networking of medical care[1]. In addition, cooperation with the Medical Faculty Ostwestfalen-Lippe in Bielefeld is being intensified to promote research, teaching, and patient care[1].
The state of North Rhine-Westphalia plans to take over 100% of the HDZ NRW in order to strategically develop the healthcare location further[1]. This measure is intended to ensure stability for employees and support the long-term orientation of the center[1].
