Evangelical Hospital Westerwald Hachenburg

The Evangelical Hospital Westerwald Hachenburg, now part of the Westerwaldklinikum network, represents a new era of regional healthcare excellence. Following its strategic acquisition by the Evangelical Hospital Dierdorf/Selters (KHDS) in June 2025, the facility has transitioned from its former identity as a DRK hospital into a high-tech, protestant-run medical center. This merger has secured the future of the Hachenburg site, transforming it into a "University-level" regional provider that serves as a cornerstone of medical security for the Westerwald region and beyond. Operating within a robust network of three locations and over 1,000 employees, the Hachenburg campus features a capacity of 177 beds in modern, comfortable wards. The medical team treats approximately 7,500 inpatients and 17,000 outpatients annually, utilizing a schrittweise (phased) modernization strategy that has introduced cutting-edge IT infrastructure and advanced medical technology. The facility is renowned for its high-performance Endoprosthesis Center (EPZmax), which holds the highest level of certification for joint replacement surgeries (hip, knee, and shoulder), confirming a standard of surgical precision recognized internationally. The hospital's medical spectrum is highly specialized, with a primary focus on internal medicine, cardiology, and orthopedics. The facility expanded its portfolio recently to include a dedicated geriatric department, addressing the specific needs of the aging population in the Westerwald. The cardiology unit is equipped with two fully automatic heart catheterization measuring stations that support the latest diagnostic procedures, including intravascular ultrasound and intracoronary pressure measurements. Furthermore, the hospital maintains a certified diabetes unit and a specialized Intermediate Care (IMC) unit with 6 beds for the continuous monitoring of patients in critical but stable recovery phases. For patients and their relatives, the Hachenburg campus offers more than just clinical intervention. The medical staff, comprising approximately 400 qualified employees, prioritizes a holistic care model that "Knowledge Generates Health. " This is supported by a comprehensive physiotherapy center and specialized ambulatory oncological treatments, ensuring seamless care from diagnosis to rehabilitation. Now operating under the Evangelical Hospital Association's quality label, Hachenburg remains a premier destination for specialized surgical and cardiovascular care in Germany.
