What Evangelisches Krankenhaus Königin Elisabeth Herzberge gemeinnützige GmbH i does

Evangelisches Krankenhaus Königin Elisabeth Herzberge gemeinnützige GmbH (KEH) is a Berlin-based non-profit acute care and psychiatric hospital operating under German gemeinnützige GmbH (gGmbH) law with roots tracing to 1843 and Evangelical (Protestant) church affiliation. The hospital runs 828 beds across somatic and psychiatric care on a single Lichtenberg-district campus, organized into 15 specialist departments (Fachabteilungen) and roughly 11 interdisciplinary medical competence centers covering surgery, internal medicine, neurology, psychiatry for adults and children/adolescents, geriatrics, urology, vascular medicine, nephrology/dialysis, epileptology, and inclusive medicine for people with disabilities. It treats approximately 49,000 inpatients and outpatients annually with around 1,600 employees.

The hospital's technology base consists of standard hospital information systems, electronic patient records, radiology information systems, and digital operating room management. In November 2025 it opened a ~€16 million OP expansion building with two new operating rooms — one equipped with a DaVinci robotic surgical system and one configured as a hybrid operating room — and it broke ground in April 2026 on a ~€17 million Behandlungszentrum für psychische Gesundheit bei Entwicklungsstörungen (BHZ) scheduled to open in 2028. Its underlying differentiators include specialized centers for geriatric trauma, diabetes, epilepsy (Epilepsie-Zentrum Berlin-Brandenburg), vascular medicine, endourological laser surgery, dialysis access, and the Zentrum für Inklusive Medizin Berlin-Brandenburg (ZIBB).

KEH generates revenue primarily through Germany's Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) system for inpatient services and the EBM scale for outpatient services, billed to statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurers. Go-to-market is sales-led via a regional referral network: emergency department (Notaufnahme), Hausarzt/Facharzt referrals routed through a dedicated Einweiserportal, psychiatric institute ambulances (PIA) for adults and children/adolescents, day clinics, and on-campus outpatient MVZ. The customer base is the Berlin-Brandenburg regional population, with no enterprise or B2B counterparties. The leadership transitioned in 2026 with Dr. Andrea Bronner installed as Medical Director and Prof. Dr. Bertrand Guillonneau recruited for urological robotic surgery, while ownership remains the gGmbH itself under authorized managing directors Michael Mielke and Dr. Melanie Beiner.
