What Valida does

Valida is a private neuro-locomotor rehabilitation hospital and polyclinic located in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, Brussels, and is the largest rehabilitation center in the Brussels Capital Region. Operated as the rehabilitation pole of the Valisana healthcare group, Valida runs seven inpatient care units — three SP units specialized in physical medicine and rehabilitation and four G units specialized in geriatric rehabilitation — alongside a polyclinic that provides ambulatory consultations and treatments. The facility serves patients recovering from accidents or illness (SP pathway), elderly patients requiring post-acute geriatric rehabilitation (G pathway), and outpatient referrals including a dedicated Parkinson's disease stay program. Patient access comes through three core referral hospital partners — Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Hôpital Saint-Jean, and UZ Brussel — supplemented by walk-in radiology and self-referral polyclinic visits.

The core service technology is clinical and infrastructural rather than software-driven: a hydrotherapy pool, technical rehabilitation plateau, therapeutic apartment for activities-of-daily-living training, walking course, back school (Ecole du dos), and an equipment testing room for assistive devices. Diagnostic and therapeutic offerings span physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychology, neuropsychology, dietetics, nursing care, medical specialty consultations (orthopedics, rheumatology, etc.), and walk-in radiology. No digital platform, mobile application, or AI tooling is publicly disclosed.

Valida generates revenue through Belgian social-security-reimbursed inpatient stays in SP and G care units, ambulatory polyclinic consultations and treatments, and specialist medical consultations. Pricing is regulated through the INAMI/RIZIV framework and patient cost-sharing through mutualities, with no publicly disclosed list pricing. Go-to-market is effectively referral-driven via the partner hospital network, with secondary acquisition through direct polyclinic visits and a call center plus online booking for appointment scheduling. The institution is owned by Valisana, has been operating since 2007, and employs 251–500 staff.
