German term or phrase: DRK-Kliniken
"DRK Kliniken Westend
Klink für Unfall-, Hand- und
Wiederherstellungschirurgie"

Name of a clinic. From research, it seems there are several of these "DRK-Kliniken" in Germany.

Does "DRK" stand for anything in particular, or can I just call them "DRK clinics" in English? TIA once more for your help. This is somewhat urgent, BTW.

Explanation:
Althoug DRK does stand for German Red Cross, and Kliniken means hospital, this is a proper name - so don't translate it.

This is a little rough on Griebler, but Alison made an important point about not translating the proper name, which I would have done but for her answer. So the points to Alison - but thanks griebler and writeaway for enlightening me on DRK - I should have realised it was Deutsches Rotes Kreuz! Appreciate everyone's assistance.
