NÖ Landesgesundheitsagentur

What NÖ Landesgesundheitsagentur does

NÖ Landesgesundheitsagentur (NÖ LGA) is the unified public healthcare agency of the State of Lower Austria, established in 2020 (succeeding the former Landeskliniken-Holding) under the NÖ LGA-Gesetz (LGBl. Nr. 1/2020) to consolidate all state-owned clinics and care centers under a single governance umbrella. It operates 27 Landes- und Universitätskliniken (regional and university clinics) and more than 55 Pflege-, Betreuungs- und Förderzentren (nursing, care, and support centers) across five health regions (Mostviertel, Region Mitte, Thermenregion, Waldviertel, Weinviertel), each managed by a dedicated regional GmbH plus a centralized Shared Services GmbH for IT, medical technology, and logistics. The organization employs 28,000+ people, treats more than 3 million patients annually, houses 6,000+ long-term care residents, and runs 697 registered clinical studies alongside 531 scientific theses.

The service portfolio spans acute hospital care (emergency medicine, planned surgeries, oncology, rehabilitation, geriatrics, maternity, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory services), long-term residential and outpatient nursing and disability care, preventive health through the "Tut gut!" Gesundheitsvorsorge GmbH program, the 24/7 1450 health advice hotline, and centralized secondary patient transport coordinated through Notruf Niederösterreich with Johanniter Unfallhilfe and SMD. Notable technology deployments include a Photonen-Counting-CT at Universitätsklinikum St. Pölten (July 2026, the first in Lower Austria, supplied by Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics), the FTAPI encrypted data transmission platform mandated by the amended Health Telematics Act from January 2025, and electronic medical findings systems (DAME, MEDICAL NET). University affiliations with Karl Landsteiner Privatuniversität (St. Pölten, Krems, Tulln) and Danube Private University (Wiener Neustadt, Neunkirchen, Hochegg) provide academic integration.

Revenue is generated under a fully state-funded managed services model: the Leistungs- und Finanzierungsvereinbarung with the Land Niederösterreich provides the core allocation, supplemented by statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) reimbursements for patient treatments and government allocations for nursing and care services. NÖ LGA is 100% owned by the State of Lower Austria with no private equity, venture capital, or stock-market exposure, and the entity is governed by a supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat) and executive board (Vorstand) with three Vorstände and five regional Geschäftsführer.
