The holistic approach to rehabilitation at Bethesda Hospital

We won't leave you on your own: our experienced and multi-skilled team will accompany you throughout your entire treatment journey - as an inpatient, outpatient and also during aftercare.

Because optimal rehabilitation is often an experience of cross-departmental measures, we work closely with the teams in related areas. Together, we work hard for you - so you are always in the best of hands with us and receive the treatment that is tailored to your case.

Our patients benefit from the interdisciplinary approach at Bethesda Hospital: in complex cases, specialists from related fields are also consulted in order to guarantee successful treatment. We also offer you the opportunity for further consultations and investigations in-house - for example with our colleagues in orthopaedics, spinal surgery or the rheumatism/pain clinic.

Interdisciplinary co-operation

The Orthopaedics Clinic at Bethesda Hospital, which is run by the University Hospital, looks after a second site at Bethesda Hospital in addition to the main site. Here, orthopaedic patients have access to university medicine in collaboration with Bethesda Hospital.

Musculoskeletal complaints are very common, often extremely painful and associated with limitations. They can also have many different causes. Sometimes rheumatic complaints indicate a serious systemic illness. At Bethesda Hospital, you will find rheumatology and pain medicine combined in one clinic - so the various specialists can tailor treatment precisely to your needs.

General internal medicine is particularly responsible for patients who suffer from multiple organ diseases and require comprehensive internal medicine, very often interdisciplinary and possibly also psychosomatic treatment and care. Good communication and co-operation with the general practitioners, attending physicians and specialists from other disciplines is an essential prerequisite for comprehensive clarification and treatment.
