We’re not just talking about widespread healthcare coverage in the form of GP surgeries, because in many cases a specialist is called for. Healthcare centres and specialised hospitals have their fields of excellence but, by carrying out research and development, they also gain prestige which benefits the entire region. Jerichower Land is well suited in this respect, thanks to institutions such as the Jerichower Land Hospital in Burg (academic teaching hospital of the University of Magdeburg), the Vogelsang Specialist Clinic (rheumatology, orthopaedics and palliative care), both of which belong to the RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG. And there’s also the Lostau District Hospital gGmbH (lung and bronchial unit, allergology, sleep research), the Johanniter Hospital Genthin-Stendal gGmbH (also an academic teaching hospital of the University of Magdeburg) and the AWO Jerichow special clinic for psychiatry, neurology and psychotherapeutic medicine. Not forgetting a broad range of spas and naturopathy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, massage techniques from the Far East, cosmetics, Ayurveda and homeopathy which focus on inner balance and physical sensation. You can rely on a holistic approach to medical care in the region.
