Criticism Regarding Doctors' Location Is Baseless, Claims Medig's Founder
In the heart of Wetter, a community of villages, a significant change has taken place. The establishment of the Medig Health Campus in Grundschöttel, a project initiated by Dr. Stephan Schleyer, has brought about a shift in the landscape of healthcare in the region.
The Medig Health Campus, home to a pediatric hub, was built in 2022. Its strategic location near the geographical centre of Wetter and its close proximity to bus stops in Grundschöttel and Rechenzentrum, make it easily accessible for residents. A nearby parking lot and barrier-free access ensure convenience for all.
Dr. Stephan Schleyer, a prominent figure in Wetter's medical community, has expressed his belief that the Medig Health Campus is a small but crucial building block in the project of modernizing Wetter's healthcare system. He is perplexed, however, by reports of long journeys to the pediatrician in Wetter, and believes that the improvement in medical care in Wetter is worth reporting about.
Most families with children in Wetter are likely to be located in Volmarstein and Grundschöttel, making the Medig Health Campus an ideal location for pediatric care. The relocation of pediatricians to the new facility is expected to significantly improve the accessibility of pediatric care for Wetter as a whole, as the Medig's accessibility via the B234 has made it logical for pediatricians to move in.
The Ärzte- und Psychotherapeutennetzwerk Wetter-Herdecke (ÄQEN-Mitte) maintains regular close exchanges with ambulatory and stationary nursing services, pharmacies, and other actors within quality circles, working towards preserving good healthcare in Wetter and Herdecke.
The city of Wetter and Herdecke are participating in the nationwide innovation fund project 'Positive Health' as one of three pilot regions. This project aims to improve the health and well-being of the population, and the involvement of the ÄQEN-Mitte in the improvement of medical care in Wetter and Herdecke is a testament to this commitment.
In addition to the Medig Health Campus, the establishment of the general practitioner Dr. Schultze-Hartmann and the creation of a social navigator position to advise needy people at home in Wetter and Herdecke, demonstrate the ongoing efforts to improve medical care in the region.
Moreover, the doctors in Wetter are significantly younger than elsewhere, a factor that could contribute to the modernization of the healthcare system in the region. The active network work of doctors in Wetter and Herdecke is also winning medical successors, ensuring the continuity of these improvements.
While there are no direct reports on the current situation of medical care accessibility in Wetter, specifically after the establishment of the Medig Health Campus and the relocation of pediatric services, local health authority publications or news from Wetter’s municipal sources could provide more precise information on how the Medig Health Campus has affected medical care accessibility since its opening.
The Medig Health Campus, a new pediatric hub built in 2022, is strategically located in Grundschöttel and serves as a crucial building block in modernizing Wetter's healthcare system. Its easy accessibility via bus stops, parking lot, and barrier-free access makes it ideal for families with children, especially those in Volmarstein and Grundschöttel, and is expected to significantly improve accessibility of pediatric care in Wetter. Furthermore, the ongoing innovation projects in Wetter and Herdecke, such as the Positive Health project, aim to improve health and wellness across the population, with the Medig Health Campus being a significant contributor to these efforts.
