Fresenius Helios is investing €14 million to modernize its hospital in Wipperfürth, North Rhine-Westphalia. Starting late this month, two wards will be completely renovated and expanded, with three delivery rooms to follow. To minimize disruptions to hospital operations, the individual renovations are being carried out in sequence. When completed in early 2019, they will provide more comfort for patients and reduce the distances that need to be walked inside the hospital.
