The Red Cross Hospital Kassel, known locally as DRK-Kliniken Nordhessen, has been a significant healthcare provider in Kassel, Germany. Established over 140 years ago by Sophie Henschel, the hospital has a rich history of serving the community. Located at Hansteinstraße 29, 34121 Kassel, the facility comprises two clinics with a total of 433 beds and an associated outpatient care center. The hospital offers a range of specialized medical services across 12 clinics and employs over 1,000 staff members.

In 2021, the hospital faced severe financial difficulties, leading to insolvency proceedings in June. To ensure the continuation of medical services and preserve jobs, the hospital was acquired by the Helios Kliniken Group, Europe's largest hospital group, in October 2021. This acquisition aimed to integrate the Red Cross Hospital into a regional medical cluster, enhancing healthcare services in Northern Hesse. Despite the change in ownership, the hospital continues to operate under the Helios umbrella, maintaining its commitment to providing quality healthcare to the Kassel community.

The hospital's facilities include modern medical equipment and specialized departments catering to various medical needs. Patients have access to comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services, ensuring a continuum of care. The integration into the Helios network has further strengthened the hospital's capabilities, allowing for improved medical services and patient care.
