On Saturday, the grounds of our hospital turned into a running track with a single purpose – to support our Emergency Department. The idea behind the event was simple: our Emergency Department “runs” for dear life every day for all of us, and on Saturday we channeled that energy into its further development.
Together for a Good Cause
The event brought together healthcare workers, hospital management, athletes, and the general public. We sincerely thank the main organizer – Rotary Club Nitra Harmony, all event partners, and everyone involved in its demanding preparation.
Hospital Management and Staff Leading by Example

-

Our sincere thanks go to MUDr. Katarína Škorecová-Bírová, Head Physician of the Level II Emergency Department, who took part in the run together with her team
. We deeply appreciate her tireless dedication and the efforts through which she has long been helping to improve the quality of our Emergency Department.
