The former medical center in Ostrach will soon be home to a new primary care practice, "Health Practice Ostrach", scheduled to open in October. This new addition to the town's healthcare landscape aims to respond to the growing demand for primary care in the community.
Dr. Pascal Schepat and Simon de Marco, both specialist anesthesiologists with qualifications in general and emergency medicine, are the founders of this innovative practice. They are moving to Ostrach with a vision to establish a future-oriented concept for rural areas, positioning their practice as a kind of mini-emergency room.
The new practice will be located directly above the existing practice in the former medical center. Dr. Schepat, who is also involved in the "Helper on Site" system and serves as the medical director of the rescue service in the district of Sigmaringen, will bring his acute care experience to the new practice.
Initially, the practice will be open on Mondays from 8 am to 12 pm and Tuesdays from 8 am to 12 pm and 4 pm to 7 pm. The goal is to scale the offer according to demand at the "Health Practice Ostrach".
If there are no free appointments in Ostrach, patients will be flexibly referred to the main location in Wilhelmsdorf. A telephone coordination center is being set up to serve as a central point of contact for patients and bundle appointment scheduling for various locations.
As an academic teaching practice of the University of Tübingen, the "Health Practice Ostrach" can train medical students. The founders aim to promote medical talent in the long term and have a permit for further training in general medicine, enabling them to supervise future general practitioners for up to two years.
Additional doctors are still being sought for the "Health Practice Ostrach". The practice is aiming to be a part of a comprehensive primary care network and has no competitive thinking with the practices in Ostrach, with no plans for active patient referrals or distribution of registration forms.

This new practice is a significant step towards enhancing primary care in the region, offering residents of Ostrach and surrounding areas a more accessible and comprehensive healthcare service.
