The first steps

Those who are admitted to a psychiatric hospital are often uncertain and tense. That is why we want to make the admission situation as easy as possible for you and your relatives. On your arrival at the Karl-Jaspers-Klinik, you will be greeted in a friendly manner by our admission staff. The team includes a person in charge of coordination, a doctor on duty, nursing staff and hospital information staff. Together, they will ensure your admission to run as smoothly as possible, the goal is to minimize your waiting time and to install you in your ward as soon as possible.

Registration
