Losses are not medical — they are communicational
19/01/2026A century of entrepreneurship
11/03/2026A prime location for over a century
Amerikanska 3 is a site with a century-long tradition. On the 100th anniversary (1926–2026) of his departure to America, I pay tribute to the emigrants of American Street and initiate the development of the Business and Medical Center as a development platform for future generations.
A century of entrepreneurship
Over time, the premises housed an insurance office and a notary public office, making the building well known beyond the borders of Gorski Kotar.
A century-long foundation of medicine
Medical activity at Amerikanska 3 in Delnice began even before the Second World War with the work of the district epidemiologist. In the 1960s, a dental practice with an X-ray unit operated there.
In 1991, the first private physical therapy practice in Croatia was opened. From the same address, the first mobile electrotherapy service in patients’ homes was launched.
Since 1993, the headquarters of Hedela has represented a precursor to the coordination of medical resources, particularly in respiratory diseases. One of the first public-private partnerships in healthcare in Croatia was also established in Delnice.
The Asmal patient association has its roots here, where multimedia materials and a magazine for asthma patients were created.
In 1996, I initiated the first telemedicine consultations in Croatia, and members of the organizing committee of the first telemedicine conference in Croatia met at this address.
A hundred years ago, my great-grandfather left this street to seek opportunity in the world.
Today, from the same address, I am launching a platform through which international activities are conducted from Delnice.
