Hospital experience
Together, we are working towards an environment where patients, visitors and staff feel comfortable. Several working groups (e.g. patient empowerment, art in the hospital) actively contribute to this.
Natural
NaturalFor our construction and renovation projects, we strive to create an open and pleasant environment where patients, visitors and staff feel at home and well-supported. We strive for optimal connection with the outside world by incorporating as much natural light as possible into our buildings and introducing green accents. We also use natural materials wherever possible.
Homey

Appealing
AppealingAn attractive environment has a positive impact. In this context, since late 2016, an art working group has been present, consisting of staff from various departments and chaired by the pharmaceutical director. For instance, they organise exhibitions in our hospital corridors, but they also think about the appropriate decoration of the site. In Deinze, the Paediatrics Department has been decorated with a new and child-friendly theme with forest animals, and you will find street art on the outer walls of the Outpatient Rehabilitation Centre.

During your visit to the chapel, the hospital pastor can join you in your search for new insights or perspectives, while respecting your personal convictions.
