Joana Ruf has headed the nursing school at the Ostalb clinics since 2018 and their newly founded health academy since 2020. In addition to training as a nurse, she has successfully completed a degree in nursing education and a Master's in Educational Science.

"The culture of lifelong learning and operational knowledge management is becoming increasingly important in the ever more complex healthcare sector," explains Joana Ruf. "The future of professional learning, especially against the backdrop of digitalization, in the healthcare professions is particularly close to my heart."
