The clinic is operationally managed by a three-person executive team consisting of Medical Director and Chief Physician Dr. med. Hans-Christian Schilling, Administrative Director Jessica Euler, and Nursing Director Karin Janz, and operates in close coordination with the sister clinic MARIENBORN Fachklinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie in Zülpich.
