OLKA® refers to coordinated organization and volunteering activity at hospitals. Our purpose is to offer patients and their loved ones unhurried encounters and support in coming to terms with their disease. OLKA is a joint operation of HUS and HyTe [Community of NGOs].
OLKA service point, Hyvinkää Hospital
Come and see us at the OLKA service point at Hyvinkää Hospital! The OLKA service point is adjacent to the Patient Learning Center Soppi in building A, next to the cafeteria on the 1st floor.
OLKA service points provide brochures and magazines from patient associations. The service points also hold theme days where patient associations and hospital units talk about what they do and explain the forms of support that they can offer.
The theme days are open to everyone free of charge.
