It was once the largest building construction project in Upper Austria, and now the new building of what was then the Landesnervenklinik Wagner-Jauregg on what is now the Neuromed Campus (NMC) Linz is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
On the occasion of this anniversary, those responsible took stock on Tuesday: A total of 558 beds and 128 outpatient care places are housed in the Neuromed campus. Around 2,100 employees work in the complex for around 13,100 inpatients and 37,500 outpatients.
“Constant investments must be made in a modern hospital landscape in order to provide the people in Upper Austria with the best possible medical services and the employees in the hospitals with good jobs,” said health officer and deputy governor Christine Haberlander (VP) at the media event.
Since the opening of the new building, further innovations have been established: in 2009, for example, an interdisciplinary neurosurgical-neurological acute aftercare, which was unique in Austria at the time, was created. Four years later, the department for psychosomatics relocated from the Enns site back to the NMC, thus ensuring patient care in the central room.
“Many extraordinary medical successes” have also been achieved at today’s Neuromed campus over the past 20 years, said Franz Harnoncourt, Managing Director of the Kepler University Hospital.
