VitalCampus Geesthacht: New Course for Health and Digitization!

Geesthacht, Deutschland - On July 1, 2025, the hospital in Geesthacht started operating under new management. A new owner, Captain Thomas Pötzsch (CTP), an entrepreneur from Schleswig-Holstein, took over the helm and brings a breath of fresh air to the facility. The takeover comprises around 700 employees who work in the hospital, the medical care center and the senior center. The insolvency proceedings of these facilities have now finally ended, which ensures medical care in the region and promises its expansion. Under the new name "VitalCampus Geesthacht", a clear focus will be on holistic health issues in the future: prevention, treatment and healing are the focus of the strategic orientation, such as Duchy Direkt reported.

A special focus is on implementing a digitization strategy, which, among other things, provides for the use of diagnostic artificial intelligence (AI). This innovation should not only increase efficiency, but also create work relief for doctors and nursing staff so that more time for the patient: remains inside. A new bidder with a convincing purchasing concept has prevailed and thus the interest of the previous investors, Dr. Stephan Engels-de Rey and Yenna Haack, surpassed, who will probably not come to the train.

Welfare Andreas Romey also emphasizes the great team performance, which has contributed to receiving the hospital in Geesthacht.

The new concept, which provides for the complete takeover of medical care, including outpatient offers, is already positively accepted by the creditor committees and employee representatives. More information will be announced after the conclusion of the contract negotiations, but the investor will only be announced by name after all the necessary signatures have been received.
