Location found for Rorschach outpatient centre
The Rorschach outpatient centre, and therefore outpatient healthcare in the Neuseeland/Rorschacherberg area, has a new location. A comprehensive range of medical services will be offered here from the end of 2024.
The town of Rorschach, the canton of St.Gallen and the Spitalanlagegesellschaft des Kantonsspitals St.Gallen have reached an agreement on the construction of a new outpatient centre. After a long search, a suitable property has now been found. According to a press release, the complex in the Neuseeland/Rorschacherberg area – directly on the border with Rorschach – will be fully operational from the end of 2024. Until then, outpatient service providers with a focus on oncology outpatient clinics, gastroenterology and cardiology will be relocated to the new site. Outpatient consultations will also be offered by the Clinics for General, Visceral, Endocrine and Transplant Surgery, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Urology and the Clinic for Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery.
As there would be insufficient space for haemodialysis at the new outpatient clinic, the decision-makers have decided to integrate these treatments into the haemodialysis unit at the St.Gallen site. According to the press release, this will take place by the end of the first quarter of 2024. The Radiology Network of the Clinic for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at St.Gallen Cantonal Hospital in Rorschach offers a comprehensive range of radiological diagnostic services at the Regatron Centre. In addition to the existing MR and PET-CT examinations, computerised tomography and fully digital conventional X-ray diagnostics are now also offered. The Cantonal Hospital of St.Gallen is currently still using the property of the former Rorschach Hospital. The use of this building from 2025 is still open and is still being discussed by the canton, the town of Rorschach and the hospital investment company of the cantonal hospital.
