With our clinic magazine Hellersen Insight, we would like to give you exciting insights into everyday clinical life at our specialist clinic for orthopaedics, trauma surgery and sports medicine in Lüdenscheid. We report on a wide range of topics from the medical specialties of the sports clinic, interesting patient and employee stories, portraits of our specialists as well as political topics from the healthcare sector and the Märkisch district.
This special edition of Hellersen Insight is all about the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the close connection between Hellersen Sports Clinic and competitive sport. The focus is on the Rhine-Ruhr region's Olympic bid and the special role that the specialist clinic will play as a sports medicine competence center.
In an interview, Stefan Klett, President of the NRW State Sports Association and President of Sporthilfe NRW e.V., the sponsoring association of the Hellersen Sports Clinic, and Michael Scharf, Director of Competitive Sports at the LSB, talk about the chances of the bid and the importance of excellent medical care for athletes. Dirk Burghaus, CEO of the Hellersen Sports Clinic, explains how the experience gained from top-class sport is incorporated into daily patient care and thus benefits everyone.
The doctors also provide exciting insights into their work. Whether as association or team doctors at the Olympic Games, with the DFB women's national team or on the sidelines of regional clubs, expertise from top-class sport is part of everyday practice at the Hellersen Sports Clinic. A patient story by heptathlete Tatjana Schilling shows just how valuable this knowledge can be: After several injuries, she found her way back to sporting success thanks to treatment at the Hellersen Sports Clinic.
