Medical care in the Vogelsberg district: Palliative aid secured!

Schwalmtal, Deutschland - Seriously ill people in the Vogelsberg district can breathe a sigh of relief: From January 1, 2025, specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPV) will be reorganized at the University Hospital Gießen-Marburg. This was made possible by the takeover of the sponsorship by the clinic, after the contract with the previous provider, the Palliative Team Waldhessen gGmbH, was surprisingly terminated, as nh24. The district administrator Dr. Jens Mischak expressed himself optimistically and emphasized the high quality of the future offered by the experienced team of Gießener Palliative medicine.

The restructuring of the supply was urgently necessary, since the previous care was only secured until December 31, 2024. Fortunately, those responsible for palliative medicine signaled their support at an early stage. The two previous locations in Alsfeld and Lauterbach are now being merged, and a new branch will be built in the Schwalmtal. Rooms in the Brauerschwend community center are rented for this to ensure optimal care. This was also recognized by Schwalmtal's mayor Timo Georg as an essential step in health care, which Oberhessen-Live reported .

dr. Norbert Sehn and Dr. Robert Ruckelshausen, two palliative care doctors from the region, emphasized the importance of the close connection to the Gießen location, which is of crucial importance for the quality of the care. The Vogelsberg district sees itself as responsibility to continue to ensure the best possible support in order to ensure smooth medical care. Thanks to the quick solutions, the concerns about the supply gap are once again eliminated.
