De Hoogstraat Revalidatie

What De Hoogstraat Revalidatie does

De Hoogstraat Revalidatie is a Dutch non-profit medical specialist rehabilitation center founded in 1948 in Utrecht, Netherlands, providing clinical and outpatient rehabilitation services across the full age spectrum (0–3 years, 4–12 years, 13+ years, and adults) for conditions including spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, amputation, multitrauma, and muscular diseases. The organization treats approximately 5,313 to 6,313 patients annually, delivers 84,423 hours of direct care, and employs 742 staff supplemented by 60 volunteers and 75 interns. Service delivery is augmented by an in-house Adaptive Rehabilitation Technology (ART) team for custom assistive devices, a Looplab gait analysis facility, wearable sensors and mobile apps for condition monitoring, and a robotic Body Weight Support System for early gait training. Research and innovation are channelled through the Kenniscentrum Revalidatiegeneeskunde Utrecht (KCRU), a joint research center with UMC Utrecht, with active programs including the B-STARS2 transcranial magnetic stimulation trial and the REHABILITY-4-ALL national implementation project for intensive pediatric brain injury rehabilitation.

The business model is primarily fee-for-service medical specialist rehabilitation reimbursed through the Dutch basic health insurance package (basisverzekering) on referral from hospitals or general practitioners, with secondary revenue streams from assistive device sales (via Orthopedietechniek subsidiary and Orthostore.nl webshop), professional education including a four-day neurorevalidation training at €1,350 per participant (CRKBO accredited, VAT exempt), adaptive sports programs, and grants from bodies such as Nationaal Plan Hoofdzaken and Johanna Kinderfonds. The organization operates three core subsidiaries: De Hoogstraat Orthopedietechniek (prosthetics and orthoses, with international humanitarian work in Kenya), Jan van Rijn Kinderfysiotherapie (acquired 2018), and the Ariane de Ranitz special primary school integrated within the child rehabilitation department. Technology infrastructure includes the NEXUS Revalidatie-EPD electronic patient record implemented in 2025, the MijnHoogstraat patient portal, and integration with the Dutch national PGO personal health environment.

Customer acquisition follows a referral-led go-to-market: hospitals, rehabilitation physicians, and GPs direct patients to De Hoogstraat through a dedicated referrer portal. Supporting channels include a comprehensive Dutch-language website, newsletters, social media (21,750 followers across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok), a podcast series, experience-expert storytelling, and community events. The organization holds HKZ and VMS quality certifications, MPZ silver environmental certification, and CRKBO training registration, and is governed by a Raad van Bestuur led by Chair Yvette van Horn (appointed July 2023) with board member Hugo Keuzenkamp (appointed May 2026).
