Hospital merger
Hospital merger
The district of Waldeck-Frankenberg and the town of Korbach are working on a joint strategy for the hospitals in Frankenberg and Korbach. The aim is to organise both locations in such a way that they can continue to offer the best possible healthcare in the future. With rising costs, insufficient investment funding, an acute shortage of skilled labour and in view of the nationwide hospital reform, the hospitals will no longer be able to do this alone in future.
In order to maintain the high-quality medical services in Waldeck-Frankenberg, structured cooperation between the hospitals is essential. For this reason, the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg and the town of Korbach are working on a merger of the hospitals on 1 January 2026, with the plan being a joint facility at two locations.
