The Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia (HDZ NRW) in Bad Oeynhausen is one of Europe’s leading medical centers and is considered the largest heart center on the continent. Founded in 1980, it has been part of the University Hospital of Ruhr University Bochum since 1989. Since 2023, it has also been affiliated with the OWL Faculty of Medicine at Bielefeld University.
The Heart and Diabetes Center NRW (HDZ NRW) is renowned for its outstanding expertise in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. It comprises five university hospitals, three university institutes, and other specialized facilities. Of particular note is that the center is Germany’s largest heart transplant center, having performed over 2,900 heart transplants since 1989.
A remarkable feature of the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW (HDZ NRW) is its use of innovative technologies. It is the only heart clinic in Europe to use a 3D heart hologram in the operating room. This technology allows surgeons to visualize a three-dimensional model of the heart, significantly improving precision and safety during complex procedures.
The center offers both inpatient and outpatient care and places great emphasis on combining high-performance medicine with a personal touch. It is an internationally recognized center that sets new standards not only in patient care, but also in research and teaching.
At that time, my business was still firmly established in the Netherlands. My first German employees, who optimized resumes for me, were German students studying psychology in the Netherlands. The German students were surprised by the informal atmosphere between students and professors at Dutch universities. While it was normal for Dutch students to address their professors by their first names, this was unthinkable for German students. But in the Netherlands, even the inhabitants address their king, Willem-Alexander, by his first name: most Dutch people don’t even know his family name, Van Oranje Nassau.
Therefore, I am very pleased that many hospitals and clinics in Switzerland are already promoting or practicing a culture of using first names. Please bear in mind that this informal culture may still be unfamiliar to the doctors we refer you to.
