Schoen Clinic International

What Schoen Clinic International does

Schoen Clinic International, legally Schön Klinik SE, is Germany's largest family-owned hospital group, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Munich. The group operates 17 clinics and 47 outpatient and day-clinic facilities across Germany, treating approximately 364,000 to 395,000 patients annually across specialties including orthopaedics, neurology, psychosomatics, surgery, rehabilitation, and internal medicine. It also operates MindDoc, a wholly-owned online telemedicine clinic, and runs a dedicated International Patients department serving medical tourists seeking treatment in Germany.

The group's clinical delivery is supported by state-of-the-art technology including navigation devices for endoprosthesis implantation, minimally invasive surgical platforms, a gait laboratory for pediatric orthopaedics, and telemedicine infrastructure. It employs a proprietary quality measurement system, MedQEX (Medical Quality and Excellence Index), which evaluates hospital stay quality across treatment quality, patient safety, and patient experience, with methodology recognised internationally. The group holds multiple academic teaching hospital affiliations with the Universities of Hamburg, Lübeck, and Kiel (Christian Albrecht University), and operates the FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence at Munich Harlaching.

Revenue is generated through inpatient hospital services, outpatient and day-clinic services, and specialised international patient services, with patients covered under both statutory (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) and private health insurance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The group is controlled by the Schoen family under a reinvestment model, with Christopher Schön joining as CFO in 2025 as the first third-generation family member in operational management. As of 2025, UK operations have closed, focusing the group entirely on the German market.
