The Endocrinology Department of the Kaunas Clinics is located on the second and third floors of the Endocrinology Clinic, and its repair work took several years - during the COVID-19 pandemic, these rooms were intended for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection, and only after the end of the pandemic, the repair work was resumed.
The renovation of the last remaining part of the third floor is currently being completed. The modernly equipped clinic has 44 beds in the Endocrinology inpatient unit, where 4 intensive care beds with the necessary equipment and a remote monitoring system are already functioning, ensuring the best care and treatment of the most difficult patients. Despite the changed working conditions and the appearance of the department after the renovation, the staff of the Endocrinology Clinic wanted to warm up the department premises emotionally.
With the help of the Dean of the Kaunas Faculty of the Vilnius Art Academy, Prof. Jonas Audejaičius, head of the Department of Painting, prof. On December 20, 2023, an exhibition of students' final works was opened for Aušra Vaitkūniena and the students of the academy on the second floor of the Department of Endocrinology. Further cooperation was agreed upon, with plans to expand the exposition to the third floor as soon as the renovation work is completed. The staff of the Endocrinology Clinic, the patients of the Endocrinology Department were happy with the changed face of the department, the opportunity to get acquainted with modern art, the efforts of artists to improve the psychological condition of patients and help them recover faster.
