Zorgnetwerk Nederland

What Zorgnetwerk Nederland does

Zorgnetwerk Nederland is a Dutch professional membership network founded in 2005 and headquartered in Ede, Netherlands. The organization serves ambitious decision-makers and executives (Leden Raad van Bestuur, hospital directors) from the Dutch care and cure sector, providing a peer community for knowledge exchange, leadership development, and cross-sector inspiration aimed at shaping the future of healthcare delivery.

The core offering centers on an exclusive members-only online platform called "Connect" (with a companion Network Connect mobile app), which hosts event information, keynote presentations, a knowledge portal, and member-to-member networking. Layered on top of the platform is a year-round programming calendar that includes the annual flagship Health & Care Day, symposia, University sessions, and multi-day study tours (e.g., the June 2025 Kortrijk study tour with 190 participants). Content production extends to the "Zorg van de Toekomst" podcast on Spotify, and the network operates a cross-border exchange partnership with Belgium's Cure Care Network, enabling Dutch members to attend Belgian events and vice versa. Quality and relevance are shaped by an Adviesraad (Advisory Board) composed of hospital and care organization decision-makers.

Commercially, Zorgnetwerk Nederland runs a subscription-based membership model with annual billing cadence. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based via a contact form and direct outreach to Rick Reefman at [email protected]. The organization has 2-10 employees (one source notes up to 13), uses no external funding, and operates as an independent founder/governed entity. Distribution is entirely direct (no resellers), with acquisition driven by community referrals, the reputation of speaker events, and an active LinkedIn presence (2,570 followers) supplemented by multiple corporate "Supporting Friends" sponsors.
