The Kepler Universitätsklinikum in Linz is Austria's second-largest hospital and a leading high-performance medical center. It was established on December 31, 2015, through the merger of the General Hospital of the City of Linz, the State Women's and Children's Hospital, and the Wagner-Jauregg State Mental Hospital. This merger was initiated by the establishment of a medical faculty at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
The main mission of the Kepler Universitätsklinikum is to provide high-quality medical care and promote research and teaching. It places great emphasis on networking medical disciplines and continuously improving patient care.
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the hospital, through its comprehensive medical and scientific work, is an important part of regional healthcare. It contributes to the further education of medical professionals and promotes clinical research, which contributes to improving healthcare in the long term.
The Kepler Universitätsklinikum employs around 7,000 people and has approximately 1,800 beds. It is a central healthcare provider for approximately 1.5 million people in Upper Austria. More than 40 percent of the scientifically active doctors in Upper Austria work here.
The hospital is divided into three main locations: the Med Campus III (formerly AKh Linz), the Med Campus IV (formerly Landes-Frauen- und Kinderklinik), and the Neuromed Campus (formerly Landes-Nervenklinik Wagner-Jauregg). These locations offer a wide range of medical specialties and state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities.
