Care Structure
Acute care hospitals
As the only hospital group in Germany HELIOS operates its own hospitals ranging from basic care starting at 46 beds to maximum care with 1,400 beds. The acute care hospitals offer nearly the full spectrum of medical services at a high level of quality. Some HELIOS clinics are renowned beyond Germany’s borders for their outstanding medical achievements.
Postacute care hospitals
Wittgensteiner Hospitals, a leading provider of rehabilitation medicine in Germany, belongs to the HELIOS Kliniken Group. Wittgensteiner Hospitals’ range of services includes inpatient, day patient and outpatient care. The hospitals’ aftercare and postacute care concepts particularly focus on neurology, cardiology, internal medicine, psychosomatics, hearing impairments, orthopedics and oncology. Wittgensteiner Hospitals’ high level of medicine can be attributed to its many years of experience in the area of postacute care. Ongoing training of the medical and nursing staff as well as HELIOS’ special quality control help ensure and continuously develop the high care standard of its hospitals.
Senior care
By combining senior citizens’ homes and acute medical care, HELIOS gives residents access to optimum, fast medical care, in particular through specialists in the field of geriatric medicine. HELIOS has already implemented this intelligent and trend-setting concept of short distances for seniors at its hospitals in Berching, Erfurt and Borna.
Medical care centers – polyclinics
HELIOS strives to develop cross-sectoral treatment chains for integrated medical care. In the medical care centers close to the hospitals, HELIOS patients receive further outpatient treatment after an inpatient hospital stay. Polyclinics, like the one at the HELIOS hospital Berlin-Buch, enable a close link between inpatient and outpatient care. Through short distances, both hospital and polyclinic can share modern medical technology such as laboratories, x-ray equipment, and magnetic resonance or computer tomography. A professed goal is the prevention of double examinations, because high quality and competent medical care in conjunction with a rational use of resources best serves the well-being of the patients.
