Herz-Kreislauf-Zentrum Groß Gerungs

What Herz-Kreislauf-Zentrum Groß Gerungs does

Herz-Kreislauf-Zentrum Groß Gerungs is a privately operated cardiac rehabilitation and prevention center founded in 1986 in the Waldviertel region of Lower Austria, with approximately 240 employees and a 268-bed facility (118 single rooms, 73 double rooms, 2 apartments). Its core offering is inpatient cardiac rehabilitation for patients recovering from heart attacks, bypass or valve surgery, stent implantation, heart failure, hypertension, and related cardiovascular conditions, delivered by an interdisciplinary team led by Medical Director Prim. Univ.-Doz. Dr. Sebastian Globits with 24/7 physician and nursing coverage, ICU and monitoring capabilities, and therapeutic programs spanning movement therapy, physical therapy, nutrition, and psychological counseling. The diagnostic platform comprises resting ECG, echocardiography, stress ECG, 24-hour Holter and blood pressure monitoring, laboratory examinations, carotid sonography, and telemetry.

The business model rests on two pillars: contracted rehabilitation services funded by five Austrian social insurance carriers (PVA, BVAEB, KFA, ÖGK, SVS), and a direct-to-consumer private-pay layer that includes wellness packages (Herzurlaub from €1,536, Xund & Aktiv-Woche from €982, Herz-Kreislauf-Check from €879), modular Xund-Bausteine add-ons, outpatient cardiac diagnostics and sport medicine, massage and psychological services, and an à la carte Restaurant Kreuzberg open to external visitors. Pricing follows nightly subscription tiers for accommodation (€132-€152/night single room full board) and unit pricing for diagnostics and therapies. Distribution combines B2B hospital and cardiologist referrals routed through the insurance system with a multi-channel consumer marketing stack including the company's own Herz.Blog, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, an email newsletter, and the karriere.herz-kreislauf.at recruitment portal.

The center holds sector-specific certifications (QMS-REHA, EFQM Committed to Excellence 2023, AUVA Gütesiegel, BGF Gütesiegel 2024-2026, Austria Bio Garantie since 2001) and operates within regional networks including Xundheitswelt and the 20-year Beste Gesundheit partnership, with approximately 60% of food sourced organically through the Ökologischer Kreislauf supply network. The facility is single-site, with no parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or external funding disclosed.
