Hospice Haarlem en Omstreken

What Hospice Haarlem en Omstreken does

Hospice Haarlem en Omstreken is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) founded in 1989 that delivers palliative terminal care to terminally ill individuals in the Zuid-Kennemerland region. The organization operates two integrated service lines: home-based volunteer support (Ondersteuning bij u thuis), provided free of charge, and residential stays in a 6-room hospice house (Hospice Huis) at Zuiderhoutlaan 10 in Haarlem at a daily fee of €30. Care is delivered by a workforce of approximately 110 trained volunteers coordinated by 5 professional staff (director and three coordinators), working alongside district nurses from partner Zorgbalans, patients' own general practitioners, and a specialist palliative team from Spaarne Gasthuis hospital. The organization holds ANBI (public benefit organization) status, making donations tax-deductible, and is a member of VPTZ Nederland, the national umbrella for volunteer palliative care.

The business model is multi-stream. Direct service revenue is structurally limited: maximum theoretical gross daily-fee revenue is approximately €66,000 annually (6 rooms × €30 × 365), and home support is free. The dominant funding sources are (1) government subsidies for palliative terminal care, with the Dutch government adding €17 million structurally to the national scheme in Voorjaarsnota 2025; (2) donations, gifts, and bequests from individuals and local supporters (including Rotary Bloemendaal benefit concerts and Stichting Roparun equipment grants); and (3) community fundraising events. There is no proprietary technology platform; the core "technology" is the volunteer-led care model, supplemented by a website with virtual tour and listings on ZorgkaartNederland for patient reviews. Governance is by a four-member Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) chaired by Matti Emondts, with Pauline Jäger serving as Director and Bestuurder.

The hospice serves approximately 10 municipalities across Zuid-Kennemerland, including Haarlem, Heemstede, Bloemendaal, Zandvoort, Aerdenhout, Bennebroek, Bentveld, Overveen, and Spaarndam-West. Three legal entities support operations: the operating foundation Stichting Hospice Groep Haarlem e.o. (founded 1989), a fundraising foundation Stichting Steunfonds (established 1993), and a property-holding foundation Stichting Hospice Pand (established March 2014) that owns the Zuiderhoutlaan 10 building. The organization won the national VPTZ Vrijwilligersprijs in 2022 and is currently pursuing capacity expansion from 6 to 16 rooms through a second location, after a December 2024 attempt to site a facility in Bloemendaal was blocked by local neighbor opposition.
