Helse Fonna HF

Helse Fonna HF comprises four hospitals in Haugesund, Stord, Odda and Valen, as well as four district psychiatric centres (DPS). We have more than 4,000 employees who all work purposefully to provide the best possible treatment and care for our patients. Helse Fonna covers 19 municipalities with around 180,000 inhabitants.

The field of cardiology is organized under the Cardio and pulmonary department, which in turn is part of the medical clinic. There are currently 9 beds for cardiology, and 6 beds for intermediary intensive care observation. Overall, this department covers the vast majority of cardiac diseases with the exception of invasive cardiology and some other specialised subjects. The department is in charge of pacemaker surgery for all of the Fonna Health Trust. In February 2027, part of the department will move into new premises.

The cardiology outpatient clinic is responsible for recovery and monitoring of cardio patients in the region. There is an established emergency outpatient clinic for rapid intervention for patients with suspected coronary diseases. This is a highly professional environment at the forefront of cardiology.
