Discussion forums on health care: Citizens' dialogues in Elbe-Elster!
Something is happening in the Elbe-Elster region when it comes to healthcare. On the occasion of planned citizen dialogues, the Medical University of Lausitz has launched an exciting series of forums. These kick-off events are scheduled for the coming weeks and are intended to give citizens the opportunity to learn more about the future healthcare structure. The first forums will take place on November 4th, 11th and 25th, 2023 in Finsterwalde, Elsterwerda and Herzberg, and participation promises plenty of material to have your say.
The events will primarily focus on the topics of care, nursing, digital innovations, prevention and health literacy. The members of the board of the Medical University of Lausitz will not only present the topics, but also actively answer questions from citizens and lead various topic tables. In this way, participants can enter into a direct dialogue and exchange ideas about future developments in healthcare. No prior registration is required, which makes participation easier for anyone interested.
Venues and details
The forums start at 5 p.m., so that work and commitment can be easily combined. In Finsterwalde, the first forum will take place in the Sangerstadt-Gymnasium, while in Elsterwerda the Elsterschloss-Gymnasium and in Herzberg the Melanchthon-Gymnasium will be used as event locations.

- 11. November 2023: Elsterwerda, Elsterschloss-Gymnasium
- 25. November 2023: Herzberg, Melanchthon-Gymnasium
The aim of these citizen dialogues is clear: through transparency and the exchange of information, the concerns of citizens should be brought into focus. The focus is on the close cooperation between the central clinic in Elbe-Elster and the Medical University of Lausitz in order to sustainably improve regional healthcare. Initiatives like these are important in order to listen to citizens and actively involve them in developments that directly affect their quality of life.
Insight into the region
The citizen dialogues are not the only movement that is being discussed in the Elbe-Elster region. Companies like Sink Paper & Packaging from Urbandale, Iowa, also show how important it is to deal with the demands of the market. The company specializes in packaging solutions and offers a wide range of disposable products, including food service and personal hygiene products. It is important that such companies make their practices sustainable and address the environmental challenges that are high in today's world.
In times when the exchange of information and awareness of one's own rights and possibilities are becoming increasingly important, visiting such forums is not only advisable, but also a good opportunity to actively participate in shaping the future. While there is an opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas directly, there are also other platforms that offer interesting content and can thus provide valuable information.
An example is the “dark websites”, which are accessible via special browsers such as Tor and which offer numerous opportunities for exchanging information. These pages, which are often overlooked compared to the regular Internet, can open up an exciting dimension for users, like the portal Make Tech Easier described in detail.
Overall, the dialogue about health in the Elbe-Elster region is a sign of progress and proximity to citizens. Let's use this opportunity to shape the next steps in healthcare together!
