What Az groeninge does

AZ Groeninge is a non-profit general hospital (vzw az groeninge) headquartered at President Kennedylaan 4, Kortrijk, Belgium, with secondary campuses including Campus Reepkaai in Kortrijk and a partner facility at Sint-Jozefskliniek Izegem. It provides a full spectrum of secondary and tertiary healthcare services — emergency care, outpatient consultations, inpatient hospitalizations, day hospitalizations, surgery, oncology (including radiotherapy and PET), cardiology, nephrology/dialysis, fertility treatment, ENT, maternity, pediatrics, mental health, and rehabilitation — to the general public across West Flanders. The hospital also operates a Clinical Trial Center coordinating clinical studies across multiple departments.

The digital product portfolio centers on the Nexuzhealth cross-hospital electronic patient record platform shared across Flemish hospitals, with the Mynexuzhealth patient portal and iOS/Android mobile app as the patient-facing interface (appointment booking, record access, prescriptions, test results, secure provider messaging, and integrated C-meal meal ordering). On-site Digipoint services support patient onboarding to the digital portal.

Revenue is generated under the regulated Belgian healthcare reimbursement system through federal health insurance payments, supplemental insurance, and patient co-pays for consultations, hospitalizations, surgeries, diagnostics, and treatments; pricing is administered via a Financial Info Point offering cost estimates prior to admission. Distribution is direct-to-patient through hospital campuses, supplemented by GP telematics integrations, the E17 Hospital Network referral pathways across 8 partner hospitals, and partnerships with 34 residential care centers.
