HELIOS lays foundation stone for new hospital building in Wiesbaden

Fresenius Helios has laid the foundation stone for a new main building at HELIOS Hospital Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken in the German city of Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt. The seven-story structure, with 96,000 square meters (about 1 million square feet) of floor space, is being erected beside the existing clinic. It will have 22 operating rooms, more than 900 beds, and a design that significantly reduces distances and waiting times for patients. HELIOS is investing about €200 million in the new building, while the state of Hesse is contributing €68 million. Completion is scheduled for 2020.
