St. Josefskrankenhaus Freiburg
The St. Josefskrankenhaus in Freiburg, which has existed for over 130 years, is a traditional "city hospital" and a central provider of basic, standard and specialized medical care. With 282 beds[3] and around 1,800 births per year[1], it is one of the maternity clinics with the highest number of births in the region. As an academic teaching hospital of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg[2], it combines modern high-performance medicine with individual patient care and relies on an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses and therapists[1].
Service Spectrum
The hospital covers a broad spectrum: Emergency care, Gynecology/Obstetrics (including a certified "Baby-Friendly Hospital"), Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Trauma Surgery and Neurosurgery[5][4]. Particular emphasis is placed on perinatal care (Storchennest monitoring station) and cooperative treatment models, for example with the Loretto-Krankenhaus[1][2].
Values and Orientation
Supported by the Artemed-Gruppe since 2020[2], the hospital combines local roots with supra-regional expertise. It is committed to patient-centered care, innovative therapy standards and the training of young medical professionals[2]. The focus is on a holistic approach in which people are at the center - supported by family-friendly concepts and a 24/7 emergency service[1][5].
Sustainability and Innovation
As a teaching hospital, it focuses on continuous knowledge transfer and technological up-to-dateness, for example in interventional radiology or intensive care diagnostics[5]. Cooperations with university institutions underline the ambition to further develop therapy methods in an evidence-based and future-oriented manner[2].
