Academic Hospital Helios Amper Markt Indersdorf

Academic Hospital Helios Amper Markt Indersdorf has specialized in geriatric medicine since 1996 and has 95 beds for acute geriatrics and rehabilitation. The multi-professional and interdisciplinary team cares for patients' health and their relatives' precious time, providing everything necessary and maximum support at every stage. At the Helios Amper Clinic Indersdorf, around 700 acute and 1,200 rehabilitation patients are treated yearly. Another 5,600 patients are treated on an outpatient basis. The average age of the patient is 83 years. Extended stays are considered thanks to the modern, updated hospital premises with a pleasantly bright and spacious interior. Comfortable wards are equipped with handrails, trolleys, and additional staff call buttons. Patients are provided with delicious rational nutrition, cafeterias, and an area for walking. As assessed by the Initiative for Quality Medicine (IQM), which collects category-specific information from 490 member clinics in Germany and Switzerland, the Academic Hospital Helios Indersdorf performs better than average among peer clinics. This success was achieved thanks to high technologies of instrumental diagnostics and careful cures according to the latest science. Also, the hospital is not afraid to use unusual approaches to therapy. One of the helpful methods is additional sessions with Merlin, the Labrador doctor. It has been proven that dogs positively affect people's emotions and stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, which positively affects the body, reducing stress. The clinic also leads an active social life: it participates in the national campaign of the World Health Organization (WHO) "Clean Hands," runs dementia workshops for locals, and donates medical equipment for a hospital in Lebanon with the participation of Aid Pioneers. In 2018, the pharmacy at the Helios Amper Clinic became the first in the Helios Group to be successfully connected to the verification system and comply with the European directive on early counterfeiting requirements. Helios Hospital Amper in Markt Indersdorf has five departments: acute medicine with emergency care, outpatient treatment, outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, hospital hygiene, and physical and rehabilitation medicine. The main goal is to make life easier for people with incurable diseases and to contribute to improving the quality of life. Furthermore, a team of palliative nurses, therapists, and palliative care doctors, together with pastors and hospice workers, supports the sufferers and their families and helps the elderly regain independence after an illness, adhering to a holistic consideration of the patient.
