TRANSFORMATION

Contilia Group

The Contilia Group was formed by the merger of three Catholic, non-profit organizations in the health care sector. Today, the ‘with the linden tree’ company (con Tilia) is a high-performing enterprise, employing around 7,200 people who provide health care in the central Ruhr area. The group operations include hospitals in nine locations with a total of 2,443 beds.
