Robert Bosch Hospital
The Robert Bosch Hospital (Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus), the foundation's hospital in Stuttgart, was established by a private initiative of the company's founder, Robert Bosch, in 1936. The owner of the present-day hospital, which opened in 1973 and was subsequently modernized several times, is Robert-Bosch-Krankenhaus GmbH, whose sole partner is the Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH. The foundation and the management committees of the hospital together define the medical, therapeutic, and nursing policies of the hospital. The foundation facilitates medical research and finances innovative investments that are not covered by funding from other sources. The Robert Bosch Stiftung guarantees the observance and implementation of the founder's quality criteria in the best interests of the patients of the hospital that bears Robert Bosch's name.
The Robert Bosch Hospital has been one of the teaching hospitals of the University of Tübingen since 1978. After acquiring the hospitals Klinik Schillerhöhe and Frauenklinik Charlottenhaus, a women's clinic, the Robert Bosch Hospital now has 850 patient beds, of which 521 are in the acute section of the hospital and 80 in the Klinik für Geriatrische Rehabilitation, the geriatric rehabilitation clinic, which also has facilities for treating twenty patients in an outpatient clinic.
