Alexianer Potsdam

What Alexianer Potsdam does

Alexianer Potsdam is the regional Brandenburg operating entity of the Alexianer Group, one of Germany's largest Catholic healthcare providers. Its core facility, St. Josefs-Krankenhaus, is a 244-bed general and specialty hospital in Potsdam treating approximately 30,000 patients per year (12,000 inpatient, 18,000 outpatient) across emergency care, surgery, internal medicine, vascular medicine, neurology, and orthopedics. The regional network also includes the Evangelisches Zentrum für Altersmedizin (a geriatric hospital with day clinics), multiple Medical Care Centers (MVZ) for ambulatory care, two inpatient senior care homes (Seniorenzentrum St. Elisabeth and St. Franziskus Seniorenpflegeheim), assisted living (Alexianer Bürgerstift), a therapy center, an outpatient nursing service (St. Josef Sozialstation), and a planned majority stake in the Oberlinklinik orthopedic specialty clinic effective January 1, 2027. Certified specialized units include a Stroke Unit, Chest Pain Center, Heart Failure Center, Abdominal Center, Intestinal Center, and Vascular Medicine Center, alongside KTQ quality management certification, KISS nosocomial infection surveillance, and an Aktion Saubere Hände Bronze hygiene certificate.

The business is funded almost entirely through regulated German healthcare reimbursement: inpatient services are billed under the Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRG) system per the Krankenhausentgeltgesetz, outpatient services through the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Brandenburg (KVBB), and senior care through Pflegekassen nursing insurance with monthly billing. Optional private-pay revenue comes from the Komfortstation St. Lydia premium accommodation tier. The regional entity employs approximately 1,100 staff and sits within the Alexianer GmbH parent group, which reported €2.3 billion in revenue across roughly 35,000 employees and five regional verbunds in 2024. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the emergency department, physician referrals, self-referral to MVZ, and nursing insurance coordination, supplemented by continuing medical education events for regional referring physicians.
