Supporters
Without the fantastic backing of our support associations, many things would not be possible for our patients, both young and old.
Our support associations organise charity events, collect donations to improve our facilities and provide necessary items for patients at home. They take our patients on outings to distract them from everyday life at the clinic and their illness.
In short, our support associations are always there for patients and staff!

Visits with the Clinic Clowns
Once a week, there is a visit from, for example, "Dr Bonzo Schlaubi". Then the KlinikClowns really let rip and launch a direct attack on the funny bone. In situations where cheerfulness is often in short supply, these "doctors" provide a completely different, but for us absolutely indispensable, form of therapy. Humour, laughter and empathetic care are recognised by medicine and science as important building blocks of holistic healthcare. The clowns' improvised performances are tailored to each patient personally and individually, naturally taking into account their current physical and mental state.
