New glimmer: Doctors come back to Schömberg!

The shock was in the small community of Schömberg: The two general practitioners Susanne and Hans-Otto Weber have announced that they are doing their practice for health reasons. This applies not only to the family doctor's care, but also the approximately 3,500 patients who have so far been in the care of the two doctors. The closure presents Medical care in the region with a major challenge, but there is hope. The medical service provider Gomedicus will take over the care in Schömberg and the surrounding communities from January 2025, such as Schwäbische.de

new perspectives by Gomedicus

Gomedicus had already achieved success in the neighboring community of Gosheim in building a new family practice. After Wolfgang Feeß had to close his practice for health reasons, Gomedicus was able to set up a new facility there in October. These positive experiences should now also be used in Schömberg. The service provider plans to ensure on -site medical care through new doctors and extended offers, including video consultation at weekends. "We double, the number of doctors in the region even tripled by the end of the first quarter," said Philipp Gonser from Gomedicus.

The possibility of registering online for an appointment brings additional flexibility for the patients. In order to support the settlement of doctors, the municipality has paid attention to the legal framework that enable cooperation with Gomedicus without disturbing the competition among the practices. This is an important prerequisite for sustainable medical care. From January, a new chapter of medical care will be opened in Schömberg, which relies on efficiency and networking, as is explained on the homepage of Gomedicus
