Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Graz

What Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Graz does

Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Graz is a non-profit Catholic religious hospital (Ordenskrankenhaus) located at Elisabethinergasse 14, 8020 Graz, Austria, operated by the Elisabethinen order under the legal entity Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen GmbH. Founded in 1690, the institution has been a teaching hospital (Lehrkrankenhaus) of the Medical University of Graz for decades and is a registered member of Austria's public healthcare infrastructure. Following a multi-year Neu- und Zubau construction project (groundbreaking June 2023, completed June 2026), all departments have been consolidated at a single site offering 217 beds and approximately 500 employees.

The hospital delivers acute and specialist care across five core clinical departments: Internal Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (including a day clinic for trauma-related disorders), Pain Medicine (Schmerzambulanz), and Radiology, supported by therapeutic services (physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dietetics, social work, psychology), a laboratory, pharmacy, palliative care consulting, pastoral care, and a 24/7 emergency department. Distinctive offerings include Austria's first high-fidelity lung simulator for emergency-team training, a certified animal-assisted therapy program with therapy dogs Faye and Hermes, and a remote remobilization service (mobiREM) extended across Styria. Adjacent care facilities include the Himmelshafen Hospiz and Himmelshafen Care (homeless hospice and nursing care with VinziDorf Graz), Demenz-Tageszentrum Elisa dementia day center, Hospiz St. Elisabeth, Seniorenhaus St. Christophorus, assisted living apartments, and the new Gesundheitszentrum Leibnitz primary care unit.

Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursement under Austria's public social insurance system (Österreichische Gesundheitskasse and other insurers) via the LKF (Leistungsorientierte Krankenanstaltenfinanzierung) framework for inpatient, outpatient, day-clinic, and emergency services. Supplemental revenue streams include cooperation with FH JOANNEUM for nursing education (clinical placements), public donations supporting the Himmelshafen hospice (requiring ~EUR 100,000 annually), and occasional corporate philanthropy. GTM is sales-led and referral-driven via GPs, specialists, and emergency admissions across the Graz and South Styria catchment. Strategic partnerships with KAGes, Land Steiermark, Gesundheitsfonds Steiermark, and Sozialversicherung anchor the hospital within the Regionaler Strukturplan Gesundheit Steiermark 2030 (RSG 2030) regional planning framework.

Direct peers

• St. Josef Krankenhaus Wien: A Catholic religious hospital in Vienna providing acute and specialty care under similar Ordenskrankenhaus governance. Comparable in mission-driven, non-profit acute care delivery within Austria's public insurance reimbursement framework.
• Krankenhaus Göttlicher Heiland Wien: Vienna-based Catholic hospital operated by the Vinzenz Group, providing acute care with a strong focus on patient-centered medicine. Comparable as a faith-based Ordenskrankenhaus competing in the same Austrian public insurance landscape.
• Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Wien: Third Elisabethinen hospital under the same national coordination entity, providing acute care in Vienna with overlapping specialties. Comparable as a sister Ordenskrankenhaus sharing strategic governance, branding, and Catholic mission.
• Krankenhaus der Elisabethinen Linz: Sister hospital of Elisabethinen Graz under the same Catholic religious order and operated by the Elisabethinen in Österreich GmbH network. Highly comparable in mission, governance, multi-specialty acute care focus, and EMAS-certified sustainability program.
• Herz-Jesu Krankenhaus Graz: A Catholic acute care hospital in Graz-West operated by Barmherzige Brüder, providing comparable specialty coverage and serving the same Styrian population. Directly competes with Elisabethinen in the same urban catchment area.
• Krankenhaus der Barmherzigen Brüder Graz: A Catholic religious hospital also located in Graz, operating as a fellow Ordenskrankenhaus with overlapping departments and a joint nursing-education partnership with Elisabethinen at FH Campus Bergstraße. Directly comparable as a same-city, same-status, multi-specialty religious acute care hospital.

Others

• Confraternität-Privatklinik Josefstadt: A Vienna-based private Catholic hospital offering acute and specialty services. Comparable in Catholic governance and acute care focus, but operates primarily as a private clinic rather than a public Ordenskrankenhaus, providing an instructive contrast in business model.

Broad incumbents

• KAGes (Steirische Krankenanstalten GmbH): The state-owned hospital operator running all major public hospitals in Styria and Elisabethinen's primary regional planning partner. A broad incumbent setting regional healthcare strategy under RSG 2030, against whose scale Elisabethinen must position its differentiated services.
• LKH-Universitätsklinikum Graz: The dominant public academic hospital in Styria, operated by KAGes. While Elisabethinen cooperates with KAGes under RSG 2030, LKH Graz is a broader incumbent with substantially larger scale, trauma, and academic capabilities competing for the same patient pool.

Regional players

• Kepler Universitätsklinikum Linz: A large Upper Austrian academic hospital serving the Linz region with comparable multi-specialty acute care services. Not a direct competitor geographically but a useful scale and operating-model benchmark for an Austrian Ordens-/public-system hospital of similar complexity.
