Modernization of the Spa Health Institute
The modernization of the Spa Health Institute has begun. The famous complex will be modernized. What does this mean for the patient?
Modernization works of the Spa Health Institute in Uzdrowisko Ustroń, owned by American Heart of Poland, have begun. The renovation will cover not only the existing buildings, but also involves the introduction of new technologies, the purchase of equipment, including modern medical equipment, and the improvement of infrastructure. As a result, patients will receive an even higher standard of treatment from the National Health Fund and, moreover, better conditions for employees.
Uzdrowisko Ustroń is a rehabilitation center and sanatorium famous throughout Europe. It owes its popularity, among other things, to the diverse offer of health services, its unique location in the heart of the Silesian Beskids, and its unconventional architecture.
– Modernization includes both construction works and the purchase of equipment, including modern medical equipment. There will be, among others, a primary health care clinic and five specialist clinics (neurological, gynecological, pulmonary diseases), a magnetic resonance imaging laboratory, and a cardiology clinic will also be expanded – says Agnieszka Zielińska, Project Manager of American Heart of Poland.

The treatment base will also be expanded: physical therapy, kinesitherapy, hydrotherapy, cryotherapy, lymphatic massage and balneotherapy laboratories, as well as diagnostic facilities of the facility.

The facility’s treatment base will also be equipped with modern equipment, explains Agnieszka Zielińska.
