Show your range of services and give impulses in matters of “health”, “well-being” and “medicine”. This is what the PRO outpatient therapy center would like at the “Health Meeting Point” in the “Rigi-Rutsch'n” company building. The Krankenhaus-GmbH will also be part of the action day next Saturday.


Show your range of services and give impulses in matters of “health”, “well-being” and “medicine”.

This is what the PRO outpatient therapy center would like at the “Health Meeting Point” in the “Rigi-Rutsch'n” company building.

The Krankenhaus-GmbH will also be part of the action day next Saturday.

Peißenberg - The outpatient therapy center PRO (Prevention-Rehabilitation-Oberland), which is supported by the Peißenberger Gemeindewerke and the hospital GmbH of the district, has been through rather difficult times since it opened in April 2019.

The Corona crisis put a lot of pressure on the number of receipts - as did the lack of approval from the pension insurance.

A major patient target group has thus temporarily fallen through the cracks.

So far, rehab has been in the red.

Reinhard Huber, who provided the idea for the rehab day clinic, has now been replaced as managing director.

Since then we have been working hard on a restructuring.

An essential glimmer of hope: there are now positive signals from the pension insurance - at least with regard to a transition phase (we reported).

Action day on Saturday

In the therapy center there is something like a spirit of optimism - and this is exactly what they want to convey at the “Health Meeting Point” next Saturday (July 31st) between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. in the “Rigi-Rutsch'n” health and bathing park. The entire range of services is to be shown, from postoperative to medical rehab. Interested parties can find out how a patient can use the therapy center, how rehab works and which accompanying programs (e.g. nutritional advice and psychological support) are offered.

The hospital GmbH will also be present on the day of action: "We are very interested in showing our face in Peißenberg and in promoting trust in our clinics," emphasized Thomas Lippmann, the GmbH managing director, at a press conference. The networking between inpatient and outpatient treatment is becoming more and more important and must "work well". The orthopedic surgeons at the hospitals in Schongau and Weilheim praised the rehabilitation center: "We have by far the best success when the patients visit the rehabilitation facility in Peißenberg after the operations," praised Lippmann. In the future, they want to "support the PRO day clinic even more": "We want it to continue growing and soon move from the transitional phase to a rapid growth phase."

But doesn't that mean, conversely, that the Krankenhaus-GmbH, as a minority shareholder and strategic partner, has so far not adequately looked after its subsidiary? Lippmann's answer to this question leaves room for speculation: The outpatient rehab has thus been "viewed in isolation" so far. The former PRO managing director, according to Lippmann, organized a lot “relatively alone”. But now the "networking idea" is in the foreground. In other words: The rehab as a small day clinic with currently around 35 patients per day and 25 employees should be used synergistically by the hospital administration - for example when purchasing treatment materials or in the hygiene area. This should make the processes more economical.

Thematically, the range of offers is also to be expanded further - with training and course programs, but also with a stronger focus on preoperative rehabilitation, in which, for example, walking with crutches is practiced in advance of the surgical procedure. Community plant manager Ingrid Haberl - the municipal company (KU) bears the economic risk alone - is firmly convinced of the purpose of the therapy center: “We believe in perspective. I'm super optimistic, ”said the KU boss. It is "political consensus" to continue the facility despite the red numbers so far. From 2023 they want to achieve positive results. Regardless of financial aspects, one must also take into account that rehab closes a gap in health care."The therapy center is an absolutely sensible facility," says Haberl.
