Dr. D.J. (Douwe) Hemrika, CEO and chairman of Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis and chairman of Santeon rings the opening bell because six leading, top clinical hospitals spread across the Netherlands have joined forces under the name of Santeon. As a national hospital group, they aspire to achieve the highest quality of medical care and hospitality. What binds is a shared passion for people and innovative care. In a joint effort, Santeon continually explores pioneering solutions to offer the best medical care to their patients. They exchange know-how, talent and skills. By doing so, innovations and improved treatment methods in one hospital are promptly available at the others. By cooperating in the purchasing, human resources, automation and building management departments, costs are cut, leaving more money for medical care. The patients benefit from Santeon's pursuit of new ways, creative solutions and progress.

The Santeon hospitals are: Canisius-Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis in Nijmegen, Catharina-ziekenhuis in Eindhoven, Martini Ziekenhuis in Groningen, Medisch Spectrum Twente in Enschede, Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis in Amsterdam and St. Antonius Ziekenhuis in Utrecht, Nieuwegein.
