Our network

People with a progressive and incurable illness require very special individual care and support, which can only be achieved through comprehensive and interprofessional networking and cooperation between all specialists and stakeholders in hospice and palliative care.

Pflege-und Servicezentrum GmbH Neumünster is a joint institution of Friedrich-Ebert-Krankenhaus and Diakonisches Werk Altholstein GmbH. It was founded in 2010 with the aim of establishing and ensuring specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPV) in Neumünster and the surrounding area. To this end, a comprehensive network consisting of registered doctors, care services, care homes, the outpatient hospice service, the hospital, medical supply stores and pharmacies has been formed.

Based on this existing network activity, Pflege-und Service GmbH applied for funding for regional network coordination in accordance with Section 39d SGB V. The network coordinator, Michal Weithoff, actively supports the targeted
joint cooperation of the various regional players in hospice and palliative care. This involves all stakeholders, organizations and services that can contribute to the improvement and further development of hospice and palliative care in the city of Neumünster and the surrounding area.

Our aim is to alleviate suffering, maintain quality of life and enable a dignified life until the end - regardless of gender, age, religion or origin.

- Humanity - we treat everyone with empathy, respect and attentiveness
- Dignity - Every person has the right to live and die in a self-determined and dignified manner
- Reliability - We create structures that give those affected and their relatives security and orientation.
- Cohesion - Only together can we provide holistic support and relief.
- Openness - We listen, speak honestly and provide support regardless of origin, religion or lifestyle.

There for you - strong together
If you have any questions or need support, please contact us. We are there when life changes.
