Heidi Kangasniemi, Doctor of Medical Science — Pihlajalinna

Heidi Kangasniemi

General practitioner
Doctor of Medical Science

I am a specialist in anesthesiology and intensive care and accomplishing my second specialization in emergency medicine. I also work as an emergency medicine service physician. My main job is in the emergency department of Päijät-Häme Central Hospital. I have many years of experience in treating patients with acute conditions. I always try to meet my patients individually and respectfully. I treat patients of all ages, and both young children and aged patients are welcome at my office. In my main job, I treat seriously ill and injured patients, so I am familiar with e.g. patients experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, neurological symptoms and visual disturbances. I also like to treat patients with infections, minor injuries, and patients struggling with mental challenges or coping. I can also help in planning the safe transfer of patients who need hospital treatment.

I completed my Phd degree in 2022, and my thesis was on EMS dispatches to nursing homes and health care facilities and limitations of medical treatment from the point of view of an emergency physician. In my free time, I enjoy moving in nature, exercising and down-hill skiing in the gentler slopes.
