ZorgBrug

What ZorgBrug does

ZorgBrug B.V. is a Dutch private limited company founded in 2007 and headquartered at Hanzeweg 14, Gouda, Netherlands. The organization delivers specialized nursing care to patients with chronic and complex conditions - including Parkinson's, MS, ALS, complex wounds, continence disorders, and infusion therapy - across home, hospital, first-line outpatient clinic, and care institution settings. It operates as a transmural care provider, bridging primary and secondary healthcare lines under the Dutch wijkverpleging (district nursing) framework, and serves as a recognized regional knowledge center offering accredited training to other healthcare organizations.

The company's core technology stack consists of healthcare information systems rather than proprietary platforms: Nedap is used for patient records and reporting (with voice-controlled reporting deployed for the Technological Home Care team in February 2025), and ONYX is used for medication control (switched to in 2025 to enable push-notification-based second checks). Service delivery is organized around specialized teams and clinics, including a Technological Home Care Team, an ALS care program embedded in Basalt rehabilitation hospital, continence care services, a first-line outpatient clinic, infusion and wound clinics (including a partnership at St. Antonius Woerden), and a Regionaal Transfer Punt for care coordination. Geographic coverage spans 14+ municipalities across South Holland, with 2025 expansion into Delft, Pijnacker, and Rijswijk.

Revenue is generated through wijkverpleging services funded by Dutch basic health insurance, with no personal contribution from patients. ZorgBrug does not contract directly with health insurers; instead, all billing is processed through Vierstroom Zorg Thuis under fixed monthly-per-client agreements with most insurers. The organization is led by Karin Breukhoven (Directeur/Bestuurder) and Annique du Chatenier (Adviseur Beleid & Kwaliteit), operates with 100+ colleagues, and maintains partnerships with more than 10 healthcare institutions including St. Antonius, Groene Hart, Basalt, IJsselland, Hagaziekenhuis, UMC Utrecht, and Zorgpartners Midden-Holland. The company is privately held with no disclosed ownership structure beyond its independent operating status.

Core offering

ZorgBrug B.V. provides specialized nursing care (wijkverpleging) to patients with chronic and complex conditions in three settings—at home, in partner hospitals, and in care institutions—covering infusion therapy, wound care, continence care, and ALS-specific support. In parallel, it operates an accredited clinical nursing education program (Scholing & Opleiding / CNE) that trains nurses and other healthcare professionals from external organizations. Intake is via referral from GPs, hospital specialists, and partner institutions, with billing routed through Vierstroom Zorg Thuis under regulated Dutch health-insurance tariffs.

Product overview

ZorgBrug operates as a specialized nursing care organization offering a unified portfolio of healthcare services delivered across multiple settings (home, hospital, and care institutions). The core offering is specialized nursing care for patients with chronic conditions, complemented by specialized clinics (infusion, wound, continence, ALS care), a technological home care team enabling remote care, and a first-line outpatient clinic. ZorgBrug also serves as a knowledge center providing accredited training and education services to other healthcare organizations. The organization functions as a transmural care provider, bridging primary and secondary healthcare lines, with regional operations in Gouda, Zoetermeer, and surrounding areas.

Direct peers

Directly comparable as a wijkverpleging provider serving the same patient population, with overlapping referral sources and the same reimbursement regime.
• Buurtzorg: Iconic Dutch neighborhood-based home nursing organization operating nationwide, explicitly listed as a regional partner of ZorgBrug. Both deliver specialized district nursing (wijkverpleging) under the same Dutch reimbursement framework, making Buurtzorg the closest direct comparable in business model, customer, and delivery mechanism.
• Allerzorg: Dutch specialized home care organization focused on complex pediatric and adult nursing care at home, including ventilation and infusion. Comparable to ZorgBrug in delivering highly specialized nursing services outside hospital settings under the wijkverpleging framework, with a similar emphasis on technical home care.
• Mediis: Specialized nursing and wound care provider in the Netherlands, displayed as a partner on ZorgBrug's website. Both operate specialized wound care clinics and home-based nursing services for chronic and complex conditions under Dutch district nursing funding.

Broad incumbents

• Evean: Large Dutch healthcare provider offering home care, nursing home care, and hospital-adjacent services across North Holland. A broad incumbent that competes with ZorgBrug for wijkverpleging patients and skilled nurses at scale, with overlapping service lines including specialized home nursing.
• Cordaan: Major Amsterdam-based healthcare organization providing home care, intramural care, and specialized nursing. Comparable as a large Dutch district-nursing and complex-care provider with home-based services for chronic conditions analogous to ZorgBrug's portfolio.

Regional players

• Sensire: Regional Dutch healthcare organization in the Achterhoek providing home nursing, residential care, and specialized services including district nursing. Comparable in wijkverpleging delivery model and chronic-care focus, with parallel operating geography considerations.
• Thebe: Regional healthcare provider in the Tilburg / West Brabant area delivering home nursing, residential care, and specialized services. Comparable as a Dutch district-nursing and chronic-care provider with similar wijkverpleging funding, though operating in a different region than ZorgBrug.
• Zorgpartners Midden-Holland: Regional care organization in Midden-Holland providing nursing home, home care, and specialized services. Listed as a strategic partner of ZorgBrug and a directly comparable district-nursing and intramural-care operator in the same South Holland footprint.

Emerging players

• Home Instead Nederland: Dutch franchise of Home Instead, providing non-medical and personal home care to seniors with overlaps in chronic-condition client base. Comparable target market (elderly with chronic needs at home) though typically less specialized than ZorgBrug's nurse-led offering.
