Recura

What Recura does

Recura Kliniken SE is a family-owned German healthcare group headquartered in Beelitz-Heilstätten, Brandenburg. Founded in 1993 as GFK Krankenhausmanagement GmbH Teltow, the company has grown via acquisitions and subsidiary formation into a multi-state provider operating across Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its portfolio comprises four main clinic facilities (three of which are academic teaching hospitals), three rehabilitation sites, seven Medical Care Centers (MVZ), out-of-hospital intensive care (Comcura Intensiv), training academies (Recura Akademie), facility management (Recura Service), and medical technology (MediLife MT GmbH). The group employs approximately 2,500 staff and serves roughly 13,000 inpatients and 37,900 outpatients annually.

The clinical offering is concentrated in four specialty areas: neurological rehabilitation (stroke recovery, Parkinson's disease via the Beelitz Parkinson's center, spinal cord injury, early neurological rehabilitation), pulmonary and thoracic medicine (Lungenzentrum Coswig, including allergology and ventilation medicine), geriatric rehabilitation (Fachkliniken Radeburg), and out-of-hospital intensive care and ventilation weaning (Comcura Intensiv; Neurokliniken Waldeck). Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursement from the German statutory health insurance (GKV) and private health insurance (PKV) under the DRG framework, supplemented by vocational training fees, facility management contracts, and medical technology sales. Patient acquisition occurs through referrals from acute care hospitals, physicians, and insurance providers, with the Versorgungscluster Corona West (VCC West) coordinating patient transfers and bed capacity across partner facilities in Brandenburg.

Technology adoption is incremental and operational rather than AI-native: the Kumi Health clinical workflow management system digitizes clinical treatment processes, AI-based applicant matching supports recruitment via softgarden, and Matomo provides self-hosted website analytics. The group pursues structured expansion via subsidiary formation (bridgeneers health-tech incubator in 2017, TheraCura in 2018, MediLife MT in 2023) and acquisitions (Fachkliniken Waldeck in 2021), and is consolidating its neurology footprint by rebranding Kliniken Beelitz to Neurokliniken Beelitz effective July 2026 with relocation to the NeuroCampus Beelitz-Heilstätten. Governance is organized as a Societas Europaea (SE) led by Co-CEOs Uta Ernst and Georg Abel alongside Managing Director Dr. Matthias Hagen Lakotta.
