Treatment center Aschau GmbH

What Treatment center Aschau GmbH does

Behandlungszentrum Aschau GmbH, operating under the brand Kind im Zentrum Chiemgau (KIZ Chiemgau), is a specialized pediatric healthcare and special education provider founded in 1917 and headquartered in Aschau im Chiemgau, Bavaria, Germany. The organization integrates an orthopedic children's clinic (Orthopädische Kinderklinik Aschau) with three heilpädagogische centers in Aschau, Piding, and Ruhpolding, three special education schools (Franziskusschule, St. Valentinsschule, Rupertusschule), residential care, and early intervention services (Frühförderung) delivered across seven locations in the Chiemgau and Berchtesgadener Land region. Its clinical core is built around pediatric orthopedics, including a high-volume minimally invasive spine surgery program (~100 procedures per year), a Ganglabor (gait analysis laboratory) led by Prof. Dr. Harald Böhm, 3D ultrasound imaging developed in-house, perioperative temperature management protocols, and interdisciplinary therapy spanning physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, art therapy, and music therapy. The company is a 501-1,000 employee private GmbH under the parent Katholische Jugendfürsorge der Erzdiözese München und Freising e.V. (KJF München), a Catholic youth welfare organization.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance reimbursement for medical and surgical services, (2) Bavarian government and communal funding for special education schools, day care, and residential care under social welfare law (SGB VIII), (3) charitable donations managed in part through the Hilfswerk Aschau foundation, and (4) parent co-payments for residential care. Patient acquisition is referral-based through pediatricians, family doctors, Jugendamt, and health insurance medical advisors, with no direct consumer marketing. The organization reaches families and supporters through regional earned media, benefit concerts, donor newsletters, and an academic presence at international conferences (rehaKIND, GAMMA, ISPO), and in 2025 became an official teaching partner of the Medical University of Innsbruck. Leadership is structured as a dual Geschäftsführung (Stefan Schmitt and Peter Wichelmann) with a newly created Ärztlicher Direktor role (Dr. Florian Paulitsch) and a chief-physician bench covering pediatric orthopedics, anesthesiology, and spine surgery.
