HELIOS celebrates 25 years of company history

OCTOBER 2019. It all starts with four clinics in Bad Schwartau, Bochum, Volkach and Bleicherode: In 1994, vascular surgeon Dr. Lutz Helmig founded the Helios Kliniken Group, today Europe's largest private hospital group with 86 acute care hospitals in Germany alone.

For company founder Dr. Helmig, satisfied and well-treated patients have been the basic prerequisite for the success of his company right from the start: "Every single measure must lead to a reduction in the suffering for which the patient visits the hospital," according to his maxim. For Helios, the continuous measurement, improvement and publication of treatment quality will therefore be the linchpin in the acquisition of new clinics and the basis for the company's dynamic development: When Helios is sold to the healthcare group Fresenius in 2005, 24 clinics are already part of the group.
