Fresenius Helios has opened a new Helios Prevention Center in Berlin, as the company continues the expansion of its occupational medicine activities into a standalone business area. The modern, 440-square-meter (4,700-square-foot) center in the heart of Germany’s capital offers comprehensive check-ups from a single source. HCP patients are accompanied throughout the check-up by their own personal physician, and do not have to search for the right department for their next test, deal with different contact persons, or face long waiting times. And if a test turns up something requiring medical treatment, the patient has direct access to the Helios healthcare network and an exclusive hotline for making appointments with specialists.
