Provides comprehensive useful services; offers health examination, chirurgical and emergency services. It was founded after the Second World War, when the Special sanatoria of Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Weisz (No. 68) together with Dr. Brežny´s Palace Sanatorium (No.66) were united into the one hospital facility. The Special Sanatorium was established in the years 1925 - 1926, after the reconstruction of a romantic boarding house from the 19th century, according to a design by the avant - garde architect Pavol Weisz, the native of Piešťany. The Palace sanatorium was built at the place of an older demolished house in the years 1929 and 1930 to a design by J. Merganc and O. Klimeš. Although the modifications related to the establishment and operation of the hospital (the last ones occured in the beginning of the 21st century) respected the puristic character of the Special sanatorium ´s facades, they damaged exemplary functionalistic facades of the Sanatoriun of dr. Bražný. The interiors ´representativeness from the period between the World Wars disappered when the large rooms were divided.
