Libra Revalidatie & Audiologie

What Libra Revalidatie & Audiologie does

Libra Revalidatie & Audiologie is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting Libra R&A) providing specialist medical rehabilitation and audiological care to children and adults with physical, cognitive, communicative, or auditory limitations. Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Eindhoven, the organization operates across five regional locations — Eindhoven (Blixembosch), Tilburg (Leijpark), Weert, Breda, and Uden — serving the Brabant and Noord- en Midden-Limburg catchment. It was formed through a merger of the RVL-groep (Revalidatiecentrum Leijpark, SWLC, Audiologisch Centrum Tilburg/Breda) with Revalidatiecentrum Blixembosch. In 2019, Libra treated 16,463 patients and reported total revenues of approximately €49.9 million, with a headcount of 771 (760 in 2021; ~66–68% client-facing, 30–35 revalidation doctors). Customer satisfaction scores stood at 8.4 for Rehabilitation and 8.5 for Audiology in 2021.

Libra's core offerings span four service lines: specialist medical rehabilitation for conditions including stroke (CVA), brain injury (NAH), Multiple Sclerosis, amputations, and chronic pain; audiological care (hearing tests, hearing aids, tinnitus treatment, speech therapy); work and reintegration services via Libra Arbeidsexpertise; and sports/movement programming through Libra Sportcentrum. Its technology stack centers on the REFLEX electronic patient dossier (EPD) and proprietary innovations from its Ir. Otten Fieldlab, including Fitbox2Go (portable exercise tool with companion app), PROllator (IoT-enabled rollator braking system co-developed with TU/e), SpeelsBrein (neuro-cognitive stimulation program for children 0–4), Gamerooms/Gamelabs, and the Ditto App for patient information recall. The organization holds ANBI status and operates under the Dutch Zorgverzekeringswet, with services reimbursed through basic health insurance and supplemented by grants from Hersenstichting, Provincie Noord-Brabant, and other foundations.

Libra's go-to-market is referral-based, channeled through general practitioners and medical specialists (neurologists, ENT doctors, pediatricians), with direct registration available for select work-reintegration services. It maintains research partnerships with Erasmus MC (a five-year VIN outcomes study) and TU/e (rehabilitation technology) and runs the only Vroege Intensieve Neurorevalidatie (VIN) program for adults aged 25+ in the Netherlands. Governance is led by sole bestuurder Marie-Louise Vossen (appointed February 2020, succeeding Vincent Buitendijk), supervised by a Raad van Toezicht with three subcommittees; the affiliated Stichting Vrienden van Libra support foundation funds research and client welfare projects. The 'Libra Next Level' trajectory launched in 2021 targets a future organizational vision by 2026 and is supported by transition managers Mark Varekamp and Marjo Jager.
