In a significant development for the healthcare sector in the Bodenseekreis region, Jan-Ove Faust has been appointed as the Managing Director of the Medical Campus Bodensee (MCB). Faust, a seasoned healthcare professional with extensive experience, steps into a challenging role, as the MCB faces hospital reform, a change of operator for the city of Friedrichshafen, and ongoing insolvency proceedings.
An Experienced Healthcare Leader

Challenges Ahead
Operator Change in Friedrichshafen
The city of Friedrichshafen is planning a significant change in operators for its healthcare facilities, slated to occur by January 1, 2026. This change poses substantial challenges for the new leadership, as it involves adapting to a new operational structure and ensuring continuity in healthcare services[1].
Insolvency Proceedings
The MVZ in Friedrichshafen and Tettnang are currently undergoing insolvency proceedings. Managing these processes while maintaining quality healthcare services will be a critical challenge for Faust and his team[1].
Healthcare Reform
