St Josefs-Hospital Cloppenburg

What St Josefs-Hospital Cloppenburg does

St. Josefs-Hospital Cloppenburg is a 252-bed regional general hospital located in Cloppenburg, Lower Saxony, Germany, founded in 1863 and operated as a gemeinnützige GmbH (non-profit limited company) under the Schwester Euthymia Stiftung network alongside Landkreis Cloppenburg and Stadt Cloppenburg. It serves as the central healthcare provider for Landkreis Cloppenburg and adjacent parts of the Oldenburger Münsterland, treating approximately 12,331 inpatients and 62,396 outpatients annually (2024) across 13 stations, five main departments and two specialist departments including internal medicine, general/visceral surgery, orthopedics and trauma surgery, gynecology/obstetrics, anesthesiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, angiology, vascular surgery, radiology, and a 24/7 central emergency department.

The hospital is an academic teaching hospital of Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH) and operates several certified competence centers: a triple-certified Vascular Center (only one in Northwest Germany, one of 40 nationwide), an EPZmax endoprosthetics center (EndoCert-certified for 9 consecutive years), a trauma center, a colorectal center, a lipid clinic, and a hypertension center. Technical infrastructure includes an SES-Stiftung electronic patient record system, a patient mobile application for the orthopedic Rapid Recovery Program, robot-assisted knee surgery, and minimally invasive hip replacement techniques. Adjacent co-located facilities — Vincenzhaus (dialysis, outpatient surgery), Haus St. Damiano/Facharztzentrum (specialist practices), and the Gemeindepsychiatrisches Zentrum Südoldenburg — extend the care delivery footprint.

Revenue is generated primarily through inpatient and outpatient services reimbursed under the German DRG and EBM systems via statutory and private health insurers; pricing is regulated rather than market-disclosed. Distribution relies on direct hospital access, general practitioner and specialist referral networks, a patient portal for appointment requests, and satellite services in Emstek, Friesoythe, and Vechta. Strategic positioning emphasizes regional catchment defensibility, multi-society certification, academic affiliation for talent and reputation, and ongoing modernization funded in part by state of Lower Saxony capital grants.
