LKH Schärding

What LKH Schärding does

LKH Schärding (Klinikum Schärding - OÖG) is a regional public acute-care hospital located in Schärding, Upper Austria, founded in 1854 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oberösterreichische Gesundheitsholding GmbH (OÖG), which in turn is 100% owned by OÖ. Landesholding GmbH, the state holding entity of Upper Austria. The facility delivers inpatient and outpatient services across 18 specialised departments, including Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care, Surgery, Internal Medicine, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Trauma Surgery, Acute Geriatrics and Remobilisation, Dialysis, Radiology, Endoscopy, Oncology (Tumorzentrum), a Breast Centre (Brustzentrum), and a Hernia Surgery Centre of Excellence (Kompetenzzentrum Hernienchirurgie), plus day-surgery, ophthalmology day-clinic, and outpatient mental-health day-treatment capacity. Support services span physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, diabetes and nutritional counselling, psychology, oncology nursing, palliative care, wound management, and ventilation support.

The hospital sits within the broader OÖG network alongside Kepler Universitätsklinikum, Salzkammergut Klinikum, Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum, Klinikum Freistadt, and Klinikum Rohrbach, and benefits from shared digital services (Visite health magazine, Gesundheits-Quiz platform, OÖG-wide social media) and shared employer branding. Patient engagement channels include the BabySmile24 online baby gallery, a digital greeting-card service, and an on-site childcare facility (Villa Scardy) for employees. The hospital also participates in the Kindergesundheit ohne Grenzen INTERREG cross-border initiative with Kinderklinik Dritter Orden Passau and kokon Kinder-Reha Rohrbach-Berg, enabling shared paediatric care, joint training, and cross-border physician rotation across the Austria-Bavaria border.

Revenue is generated entirely through the Austrian public healthcare financing system — social insurance reimbursements and state subsidies channelled via the OÖG parent — with no commercial or self-pay segment disclosed. Pricing is regulated and not publicly itemised. Customers are residents of the Schärding district and surrounding Upper Austrian and adjacent Bavarian regions, segmented purely by geography and clinical need, with no B2B or enterprise customer base. The reported 23-employee figure appears inconsistent with the operational scale of an 18-department regional hospital and likely reflects a scraped subset of listed staff rather than total FTE.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Klinikum Wels-Grieskirchen: Large Upper Austrian regional hospital with similar multi-specialty scope and partially overlapping catchment; a key competitive reference point for non-OÖG public hospital operations in the region.
• Ordensklinikum Linz: Non-profit hospital group in Linz operating under a different (religious/charitable) ownership model but serving a comparable Upper Austrian patient base; useful peer for benchmarking care models and competitive dynamics.

Direct peers

• kokon Kinder-Reha Rohrbach-Berg: Children's rehabilitation clinic in the OÖG network and cross-border partner; comparable paediatric/post-acute capability and a functional peer along the same Austria-Bavaria corridor.
• Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum (OÖG): Regional OÖG hospital serving a rural Upper Austrian catchment; structurally identical operating model, funding, and network integration as LKH Schärding.
• Salzkammergut Klinikum (OÖG): Multi-site OÖG regional hospital; comparable role as a district acute-care provider within the same Upper Austrian public-hospital system.
• Klinikum Rohrbach (OÖG): Sister regional hospital within the OÖG network in Upper Austria; comparable size, public-hospital funding model, similar multi-specialty scope, and identical governance structure — the most direct functional peer.
• Kinderklinik Dritter Orden Passau: German paediatric hospital and formal 'Kindergesundheit ohne Grenzen' partner; comparable specialty scope (paediatrics/obstetrics) and the explicit cross-border operational counterpart for joint paediatric care.
• Klinikum Freistadt (OÖG): Another OÖG regional hospital of similar scale and service mix in Upper Austria; directly comparable on patient volume, workforce composition, and network-level economics.

Broad incumbents

• Kepler Universitätsklinikum (OÖG): The OÖG network's university hospital and largest facility in Upper Austria; a broader incumbent in the same holding structure, providing tertiary care and acting as the referral hub for LKH Schärding's complex cases.

Others

• Medizinisches Simulations- und Trainingszentrum OÖ (OÖG SIM-Zentrum): OÖG-owned medical simulation and training centre; an internal network 'enabler' rather than a competitor, but relevant as a workforce development asset supporting clinical quality across OÖG sites including LKH Schärding.
