Future of Friedrichshafen & Tettnang Hospitals Uncertain as Operator Change Looms

The future of hospitals near me in Friedrichshafen and Tettnang is under scrutiny. The county council has approved a change of operator for the Medical Campus Bodensee, but practical and legal hurdles may delay the process. The ministry aims to find a solution that benefits both patients and employees.

The county council will discuss the hospital situation on October 14. However, the state's position on the takeover of operators by January 1, 2026, remains unclear. Typically, responsibility for hospital care lies with districts or municipalities if no other providers exist.

The ministry welcomes operators reviewing existing hospital structures near me due to current challenges. It will not interfere in operators' decisions regarding the existence and services of hospitals near me in Friedrichshafen and Tettnang. Instead, it aims to maintain hospital care in the Lake Constance district.

The county administrator, Luca Prayon, has stated that the takeover of the operator's responsibility by the end of the year is not realistic. The ministry's task is to find a solution that serves the interests of patients and employees regarding the Medical Campus Bodensee's operator change. The county council's upcoming meeting on October 14 will help shape the future of these hospitals.
