Redesign of green spaces in Hildesheim
Helios hospital Hildesheim is gradually redesigning its approximately 24,000 m2 of outdoor areas on the hospital grounds in a sustainable manner. This includes creating biodiversity, habitats and a food supply for birds and insects as well as beautiful recreational areas for patients and staff. Experiencing nature has a positive influence on health and mental well-being, it supports recovery and counteracts stress. In addition, the green spaces are to be used to impart knowledge on environmental protection topics and thus convey climate and nature conservation aspects to children in the company daycare center, employees, patients and visitors. An anti-stress path is planned for inpatients suffering from pain, with the aim of strengthening stress resilience. A walking path leads along selected individual areas of the outdoor grounds and connects many of the planned measures: vegetable patches, fruit meadow, flower beds and insect hotel.
