The rich-in-tradition DRK (Red Cross) hospital, with two sites, 433 beds, 12 specialized clinics and over 1000 employees, faced severe financial difficulties that culminated in insolvency proceedings starting in June this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Despite the ongoing insolvency process, Clairfield, together with M&A legal support from Luther Rechtsanw\u00e4lte and insolvency legal support from Semper fidelis, succeeded in identifying a strong strategic partner with Helios Kliniken group, which enabled the management to withdraw the insolvency filing and avoided the impending risk of hospital closure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI am delighted that we have found a capable strategic partner in Helios Kliniken Group under complex circumstances. We are particularly convinced that its medical concept will lead the hospital to a successful future. Thanks to our new partners, the DRK Kliniken will retains its position as a cornerstone of the healthcare provision in Northern Hesse and the city of Kassel and a responsible and attractive employer,\u201d says Claudia Nehrig, managing director of the DRK-Kliniken and chairwoman of the DRK-Schwesternschaft, shareholder of the hospital. \u201cMy special thanks go out to our advisory team who have supported us to rescue the hospital with great competence and persistence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe DRK-Kliniken have a great tradition and good reputation. The hospital has a broad portfolio of medical care and is important for the region. We will provide financial security and will aim to expand our regional care network where the DRK Kliniken will play a central role,\u201d says Helios CEO, Francesco de Meo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cDespite the challenging and complex deal situation with both serious financial problems and COVID-19 difficulties, which ultimately led to the insolvency filing, we were able to swiftly find a strong strategic partner to secure the hospital as one of the important healthcare providers in the region,\u201d says Darius Kianzad, partner of Clairfield International and leader of the deal team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
