19370 Parchim, Deutschland - On July 11, 2025, the Asklepios Clinic in Parchim celebrates a special anniversary: 120 years since its foundation. The celebrations begin with a ceremony in which the eventful history and the future of the clinic are discussed. The clinic opens its doors from 11 a.m. for everyone interested and invites you to an open day. Visitors have the opportunity to get exciting insights into the operating rooms, the shock room, the delivery room and the cardiac catheter laboratory. This promises to become an educational day for all those interested in health and families.

The history of the clinic begins in 1895 when the founder Anne Heuck died of tuberculosis. On her deathbed she made her father make the promise to build a hospital out of her inheritance. In 1905, the clinic was founded in her father's villa with 33 beds. Since then, the clinic has developed to an indispensable part of medical care in the region.
