News from Europe EUR 5,000 to Kinderzentrum Maulbronn At the end of last year, Jürgen Steinbeck and Jürgen Pfab presented a check for EUR 5,000 to the Kinderzentrum Maulbronn (KIZE) children's hospital. It is no coincidence that Richard Wolf has once again chosen the KIZE to demonstrate the company's social commitment, in particular towards children. The medical technology company has been associated with the KIZE since spring 2017. By Richard Wolf's fundraising campaign during the 2018 FIFA World Cup the partnership was strengthened. Kinderzentrum Maulbronn gGmbH is an independent, non-profit institution. With its specialist clinic for pedi- atric neurology and social pediatrics as well as the social-pediatric outpatient center, it is one of the leading interdis- ciplinary medical treatment institutions of its kind in Europe. The clinic currently treats around 6,000 children and ado- lescents with chronic illnesses, developmental disorders, disabilities, and psychosocial disorders as outpatients every year, with around 600 treated as inpatients.
