Fresenius Helios invests almost €200 million in Wiesbaden hospital

Fresenius Helios has celebrated the official groundbreaking for a new main building at HELIOS Hospital Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken in the German city of Wiesbaden. HELIOS is providing almost €200 million of the approximately €265 million total investment, with the rest coming from the state of Hesse. The seven-story structure will have some 96,000 square meters – about 1 million square feet – of floor space. The departments will be arranged using a functional design concept that minimizes distances for patients and staff. This will reduce waiting times. Completion is scheduled for 2020.
