Spremberg/Grodk is a powerful city with an intact infrastructure, which implements a large number of industrial park projects to attract specialists and entrepreneurs. The city's hospital already offers reliable medical care, while various new projects are in the pipeline. This includes, among other things, the Health Country House Black Pump, which is to significantly improve medical care in the largest district with an investment volume of around 3 million euros. The plans include the creation of a health terminal that provides telemedical services and combines various therapy providers in order to offer holistic solutions for the population. These developments fit perfectly into the concept, which also provides for the return of a general practitioner to ensure the needs -based medical care.

Health House Black Pump

The health country house is built at Clara-Zetkin-Straße 3 in black pumps and will consist of several areas: a “point of care” will relieve general practitioners with specially trained nurses and organize patient visits. A digital health terminal called "Gesunt" will record various health data and connect to the TI infrastructure. Of course, a socially-indicated patient café is also set up, which serves as a meeting place for older patients. Furthermore, those responsible plan the integration of a general practitioner and a dentist as well as a pharmacy to facilitate access to necessary medication.

The structural and technical planning of the health country house has been running since July 2022. The use of the new center is planned for the third quarter of 2024. This is done in cooperation with partners such as Thiem-Research GmbH, the Medical Care Center Spremberg and the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. There is also a regular working group for medical care in rural areas that take care of the progress of the project.

Both sides, both the city of Spremberg and the Cottbus University Hospital, are optimistic and have sought continuous networking and joint project work. It will be crucial for the success of the cooperation how quickly the respective construction projects progress. Spremberg is well on the way to shine not only as a city worth living, but also as a health location in the region. It remains to be seen which perspectives will result from this cooperation and the newly developed projects. We can be excited to see where the trip will go!
