One component is the establishment of a training campus for the RKH clinics by relocating the nursing school from Ludwigsburg to Marbach with additional training and residential facilities. There are also plans to expand the range of outpatient services, possibly with a structural extension to the medical center. The Evangelische Heimstiftung will offer short-term care and assisted living on the site as a further important building block. In addition, the DRK rescue station is to be relocated within the site and its range of services expanded. A mobility and parking concept is also to be developed against the background of an existing traffic report, taking local public transport into account.
In addition to the go-ahead for the urban planning competition, the hospital supervisory board also gave the green light for a "construction committee" to oversee this major project, to which the district parliamentary groups will delegate members. "It is the common will of all those involved to press ahead with the planning and implementation of the project on the basis of the urban development contract in order to develop a sustainable healthcare campus in Marbach," said District Administrator and RKH Clinics Supervisory Board Chairman Dietmar Allgaier, who was delighted with the resolution passed by the Clinics Supervisory Board.
