Sankt Elisabeth Krankenhaus Eutin GmbH

What Sankt Elisabeth Krankenhaus Eutin GmbH does

Sankt Elisabeth Krankenhaus Eutin GmbH (SEK Eutin) is a specialized hospital in Eutin, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, focused exclusively on geriatrics, palliative medicine, and internal medicine for elderly patients. It operates 154 beds in the state hospital plan (Landeskrankenhausplan) and employs over 250 staff, including geriatricians, specialized nurses, physiotherapists, occupational and speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, and pastoral care. With more than 3,000 geriatric cases annually, it ranks among Germany's five largest geriatric facilities and is the largest inpatient geriatric provider in Ostholstein; it also runs one of Germany's largest palliative centers and a specialized Elisabethstation for dementia and delirium patients.

The hospital's core products include the Geriatriezentrum, Palliativstation, Elisabethstation, Geriatrische Tagesklinik (20 places), and a Certified AltersTraumaZentrum operated jointly with Schön Klinik Neustadt since 2018. A new clinic annex inaugurated in June 2025 (EUR 26.7 million investment, EUR 11.6 million state-funded) nearly doubles capacity, predominantly in single rooms with balconies, a therapy garden, and a dedicated dementia garden. Adjacent services include Familiale Pflege (family caregiver training), free dementia courses for relatives, the Forum der Palliativpflege Ostholstein, and Palligrafie — a first-in-Schleswig-Holstein biographical book service for palliative patients. The hospital is an Academic Teaching Hospital of the Universität zu Lübeck (recognized February 2026) and is owned by the Catholic Elisabeth Vinzenz Verbund (EVV).

Revenue is generated primarily through billing of inpatient and day-clinic medical services to statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurers under German reimbursement frameworks, with supplementary Wahlleistungen (optional comfort services) billed separately. Patients are acquired via physician referrals (Zuweiser portal), direct admission, and partnerships with the SAPV Diakonie Ostholstein for outpatient palliative care, with distribution concentrated in the Ostholstein region. The entity is a non-profit GmbH led by Geschäftsführer Dirk Beutin; revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
