Change of operator of the rescue station Vreden: New contract with Johanniter!

The district of Borken is about to change operator at the rescue station in Vreden. From July 1, 2025, the Johanniter Regionalverband Münsterland/Soest will take over the guard from the previous operator, the German Red Cross (DRK) Kreisverband Borken e. V. This decision was made on March 13, 2025 by the district committee. The change takes place according to a regular tender procedure that was necessary because the existing contract with the DRK district association expires in early summer.

The district administration emphasizes that the change of operator will have no effect on the scope of services or the location of the rescue station. This ensures relaxation among the citizens, who continue to rake quickly and reliably by the emergency services. The new contract with the Johannitern has a term of five years, similar to the current contract.

The tendering process was carried out by default to ensure transparency and fairness in the award. After the five -year deadline, a tender will take place again, which will ensure a continuous quality of the emergency services in the long term.

The Johanniter-Accident Aid (JUH), as one of the largest providers in the German emergency services, welcomes developments that are in accordance with the reform efforts in the health sector. According to a recent report by the Johanniter, a comprehensive reform of emergency care is considered necessary. Thomas Mähnert, a member of the Federal Executive Board of the JUH, calls for sustainable planning, which also links the planning planning in the emergency services with hospital planning. This close coupling is intended to improve the efficiency and quality of emergency care in the long term.

The JUH, which has more than 6,500 employees in the emergency services and more than 300 rescue guards, is not only involved in the area of ​​emergency care, but also in disaster relief and other social areas. Your extensive experience of over 70 years in the emergency services is viewed as an important factor for the quality of the supply services.
