Fresenius Helios held the topping-out ceremony today for the new main building at Helios HSK hospital in the German city of Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt. The seven-story structure, with almost 100,000 square meters (about 1 million square feet) of floor space, is being erected beside the existing clinic. It will have 22 operating rooms, about 1,000 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 2021.
