Strategic objectives
High-tech expert care, innovation and testing
You can come to us for general and specific high-tech expert care. We are constantly adapting both areas to align with the latest scientific developments.
Quality-assured health care
Every patient can count on quality-assured health care. We pay attention to all patient needs.
Stimulating work environment
The personal commitment of all our physicians and staff determines our quality of care. We all work together on the development of a stimulating working environment.
Cooperation with primary care providers
Constructive cooperation with general practitioners ensures the best healthcare. To this end, we jointly develop patient-oriented quality projects.
Strategic partnerships
It is important to look beyond your own way of doing things. We therefore pursue strategic partnerships with the aim of measurably improving quality.
Financially healthy and sustainable
Only a financially healthy and sustainable organisation can achieve our quality objectives. We take care of this in consultation with physicians and employees.
Timeline
Maria Middelares General Hospital looks back on its centuries-long tradition in healthcare that has led to today’s innovative hospital where the patient’s experience comes first.
Our core values
Maria Middelares General Hospital’s mission can be expressed succinctly in the motto ‘CompassionateCare’. This is what we stand for as a hospital, this is what we want to achieve.
In addition, we translate our mission into the core values of our hospital: What ideals do we strive towards as an organisation? Responsibility, discretion, respect, collegiality... Each one of our hospital employees tests every action he or she performs against this, every day.
Hospital experience
During the design and realisation of our new building, a great deal of attention was paid to an 'experience', for patients, visitors and our own staff.
