The university's sponsor, the Academy of Health Berlin/Brandenburg eV (AdG), as the direct successor to the former "Eberswalde Medical College", has been deeply involved in Brandenburg's health care system for more than 40 years. Through the structures (administrative, training and care structures) and networks of the AdG, there are diverse relationships at the municipal, state and federal levels as well as at the economic, social and political levels.
With 28 legal member companies and currently 3,800 participants at four locations, the AdG is one of the largest non-profit, state-recognized educational institutions for health professions in Germany. The association is made up of clinics, health and care centers as well as nursing and senior citizen facilities, 14 of which are in the state of Brandenburg. With the founding of the Eberswalde University of Health Professions and the associated creation of additional study places, initially for nursing professionals and midwives, the AdG and its member companies are making a significant contribution to the academic qualification and further development of health professions and thus to the urgently needed training, recruitment and retention of specialists in the health sector for the state of Brandenburg and beyond.
At the same time, the AdG sponsoring association maintains long-standing international cooperation relationships, particularly with universities in Austria and Vietnam, and is intensively committed to the training and integration of international specialists into the German (Brandenburg) healthcare market. Internationally oriented and at the same time regionally anchored, the association can act in this role as an important link between vocational training, science and the healthcare system of the state of Brandenburg.
