Fresenius Helios expands hospital in Hildesheim

Construction has begun at the HELIOS hospital in Hildesheim, a city in the German state of Lower Saxony, on a fourth hospital block. The nearly 6,000-square-meter (65,000 square feet), three-story building will house wards for ear, nose and throat medicine, oral-facial, and thoracic surgery. A pulmonary clinic acquired in 2014, currently situated in nearby Diekholzen, will be relocated to the new building including a sleep lab twice as large as the existing one. HELIOS is investing about €13 million in the new block of wards. Completion is expected in 2018.
