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.
Fresenius Helios has opened the new building at its hospital in the northern German city of Schleswig. The 32,000-square-meter (344,000-square-foot) structure will accommodate up to 400 inpatients. Construction took two and a half years, with Fresenius Helios providing €30 million of the total investment sum of €80 million. The move from the existing facility into the new building will take place in mid-July.
Fresenius Helios has started work on the new main building at HELIOS St. Johannes Hospital in Duisburg, Germany. With about 25,000 square meters (270,000 square feet) of floor space, the five-story structure will house most of the medical departments, seven operating rooms, and 375 patient beds. The remaining beds will stay in the existing building, which will be completely renovated. The new building’s completion is planned for 2019. In the coming years, the company will invest about €110 million in the hospital.
