Even at the beginning of the last century, the medical and health zones of the South Urals and their capabilities were the subject of close attention of physicians and scientists. A lot of relevant research has been done. According to the results of their data, it was found that the intermediate region among the two lakes located east of the Ilmensky ridge has unique climatic conditions. Subsequently, this zone turned into a resort.
General information
At the beginning of the 20th century, the first medical institution was opened on the territory of the Southern Urals. The wellness center and resort area then began to be called the same - "Kisegach". The sanatorium subsequently became a health resort on an all-Russian scale. Today this boarding house is a regional medical center. His cardiology department has been successfully operating for several decades. More recently, a new neurological department was opened. Its purpose is to rehabilitate patients with circulatory disorders of the brain. The site of the Kisegach sanatorium contains information about the conditions of accommodation and the treatment provided.
Historical information
Gradually, the sanatorium "Kisegach" (Chelyabinsk) accumulated and generalized research knowledge about the unique natural conditions of the resort area. It is difficult to overestimate their importance in the prevention and treatment of diseases. After the war, the Kisegach sanatorium (Chelyabinsk region) was in the process of reconstruction. The field of tinning was actively developing, new medical buildings were built. In the post-war period, several large industrial enterprises of the Southern Urals took part in expanding the health resort. For example, among them are the Ural Automobile and Zlatoust Machine - Building Plants, the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant, as well as many other organizations. Kisegach is a sanatorium that regularly takes part in the implementation of state health programs. Today it has turned into an advanced medical rehabilitation institution of high qualification. The sanatorium also specializes in the rehabilitation of citizens who are in adverse ecological zones for a long time.

Functioning during the Second World War
The war affected many health facilities. Kisegach did not stand aside. The sanatorium was reorganized into a neurosurgical center. The experience of medical activity, based on the healing natural factors of the resort area, greatly helped in the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers of the Soviet army in the 50s. Most of the fighters were able to fully recover and return to service.
Features of development and expansion
The growth in the share of the population and the increase in the number of citizens who participate in social programs and undergo rehabilitation in the Kisegach health resort continue. The sanatorium has now significantly increased the value of medical services in resort conditions for people of all social groups. This is due to obvious negative changes in the health indicators of the inhabitants of Russia. That is why the reorientation of the sanatorium to the rehabilitation and treatment of patients who suffer from severe violations of the body's immune system and adaptation mechanisms deserves close attention. In turn, for the local population, these diseases can be triggered by the ecological disadvantage of the region.

Conducted balneological studies have proved the high efficiency of the healing resources of the Kisegach health resort. The sanatorium has many characteristics that are most favorable for the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases. Natural healing factors are selected for each patient individually.
Special department
For three decades, the rehabilitation center has been successfully operating in the sanatorium, which specializes in patients with post-infarction cardiosclerosis, coronary heart disease and undergoing surgery on the main vessels, as well as the heart. Every year, more than six thousand people undergo rehabilitation procedures at this medical institution. The practice of selecting patients for rehabilitation is an example of implementing the provision of affordable medical care and health protection.
Modern realities
Recently, joint research has been ongoing with the Department of Healthcare and Social Medicine. The aim of this activity is to search for modern development paths for greater accessibility of wellness services to all segments of the population. Improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation is facilitated by sanitary-hygienic education and training.

A special seminar has been created, which is held regularly. Its purpose is the formation of knowledge among the population that there is a need for a proper lifestyle. The seminar is also designed to educate people about their own health and create ideas about it as the highest value. With the help of social marketing, relevant studies have been conducted. Based on them, a number of decisions were made to improve sanatorium care, and an organizational model was made for all areas of interaction between this institution and other medical institutions in this area. The dependence of motor activity on natural and climatic conditions is established. It is planned to build a sports center that will give patients the opportunity for outdoor activities both in winter and in summer. It is planned to equip the complex in such a way that it is possible to practice the most diverse variations of exercise therapy. The initiative team intends to make every effort to improve and expand the capabilities of the sanatorium.
Sanatorium "Kisegach". Reviews
Many former patients enthusiastically talk about time spent in a health resort. Especially guests note the quality of the treatment provided, the excellent attitude of the staff. The undoubted advantage of the sanatorium is its location.
The resort area is a kind of continuation of the Ilmensky ridge, or rather its eastern slope. The local area is mostly hilly. The temperate continental climate prevails. The area is remote from industrial urban areas. It is for this reason that the local landscape has preserved the protected purity of nature. The sanatorium is protected from winds by the eastern slope of the Ural Range, and climatic conditions are mitigated by two huge lakes and forests. The territory of the health resort is located mainly in the coniferous massif, and this is one of its main advantages, which attracts thousands of people annually.
