Philips Auditorium

In a network of over 20 leading medical centres of the American Heart of Poland Group, we conduct coordinated, specialist diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients suffering from civilization diseases. In particular, these are patients with various forms of acute coronary syndrome, including acute myocardial infarction, to whom we offer specialist, continuous, coordinated care under the KOS-Zawał program.

The American Heart of Poland Group manages: multi-profile hospitals; departments of interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery; clinical laboratories and diagnostic imaging centres located throughout Poland (Polish-American Heart Clinics). Uzdrowisko Ustroń (health resort) and the Research and Development Centre are also parts of the AHoP Group. The facilities cooperate with the emergency care system of regional and provincial hospitals, complementing the medical emergency network. Every day, they employ over 300 outstanding cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and vascular surgeons, as well as specialists from many other areas of medicine. 50,000 hospitalizations related to coronary procedures are carried out annually, which makes AHoP the country-wide leader in Poland.
