Admont Abbey Health Centre - Medicine with humanity and responsibility
"Care for the sick must come before and above everything else - they should be served as if they were truly Christ."
(From the Rule of St Benedict, Chapter 36)
It was in this spirit that the Benedictine Abbey of Admont opened a modern health centre in November 2019, which is now a central component of medical care for the entire region.
A strong team for your health
In a specially adapted building on the monastery grounds, general practitioners, specialists, therapists and specialist medical staff provide comprehensive and competent care for the well-being of patients - in a personal, professional and reliable manner.
Everything under one roof - and in close proximity
Just a few metres away is the Stiftsapotheke pharmacy, run by Andrea Pickl, which stands for personal advice and pharmaceutical care.
Responsibility for generations
With the health centre, Admont Abbey has invested sustainably in the future of the region - just as it has done since its foundation: As a non-profit organisation and major employer with over 500 employees in a wide range of areas, the monastery is a lively driving force for the region.
Health, supported by a centuries-old foundation of values - at Admont Abbey.

Abbot Gerhard Hafner OSB on the Admont Health Centre
"Almost every page of the Gospels tells us how Jesus turned to sick people. This gives rise to the Christian responsibility to be there for people with physical and mental suffering. The abbot and chapter therefore immediately agreed to build the health centre on the foundation's premises. In addition, the situation in Admont was also an inner motivation.
Doctor after doctor went into well-deserved retirement, but no successors took their place, which is why the monastery and the community wanted to build this centre, especially with a view to attracting general practitioners to the region," says Abbot Gerhard Hafner O.S.B.
