Brandenburg Clinics Restructured: Financial Lifeline for Uckermark, Hennigsdorf Hospital to Close

Uckermark clinics in Angermünde and Prenzlau receive €2 million to avert insolvency, while Hennigsdorf's inpatient services will relocate to Oranienburg over the next five to seven years.

The Landkreis Uckermark approved €2 million in emergency funding for clinics in Angermünde and Prenzlau, with an additional €2 million promised to secure their operations.
A financial assessment had revealed imminent insolvency risks for the two Uckermark hospitals under the MSZ Uckermark gGmbH.
The Kreistag Oberhavel decided to phase out inpatient services at Hennigsdorf Hospital, relocating them to Oranienburg within five to seven years.
Hennigsdorf will retain an ambulatory care center, emergency services, and psychiatric care, with no planned staff reductions.
Local officials remain divided, with Hennigsdorf's mayor expressing disappointment over the closure, while proponents argue the move aligns with national hospital reform mandates focused on consolidation and specialization.
