Their vision

They want to fulfill their mission by:

People-oriented care

Being healthy is more than "not having a disease." You want them to see you as a person and not as a patient. Of course they do everything to make you better. But they also help you with other things that are needed to make you feel good. That is why your questions are important to them. They feel involved with how you are doing. They give you personal attention. From person to person.

Top quality care

You determine what 'top quality' is. That is a combination of how they treat you and the maximum medical result. That is why they all work with the same values ​​and guidelines for patient safety. They maintain their expertise and work according to the latest knowledge and insights. All doctors and all nurses do that.

Connect 'inside' and 'outside'

Our various specialties work closely together. And they ensure that you also receive the right care outside of our hospital. That's why they work well with other healthcare providers. They are happy to take the first step in this. This is called 'network hospital'.
