Cure Care Network

What Cure Care Network does

Cure Care Network is a Belgian membership network for senior decision-makers in the hospital (Cure) and elderly/residential care (Care) sectors, founded on 7 October 2020 and headquartered in Belgium. The organization curates a personal, vetted community of Belgian healthcare leaders — ambassadeurs — representing over 100 organizations including major hospital groups (UZ Leuven, ZNA, AZ Groeninge, AZ Klina, AZ Maria Middelares, UZ Brussel) and large care operators (Korian, Armonea, Familiehulp, i-mens). Its core products are themed network meetings (Netwerkbijeenkomsten), an annual multisensory Cure Care Symposium held in Ghent, regional study tours (Studietours), and a members-only Digital Knowledge Platform that stores speaker recordings, presentations, and event archives for on-demand access.

The organization operates on a three-stream revenue model: annual membership subscriptions (pricing opaque, quote-based via direct email contact), individual event tickets for the symposium (€495 excluding VAT per attendee), and Supporting Partner / Supporting Friend sponsorships from vetted commercial companies such as Ecolab, Sodexo, Miele, TOPdesk, and JAVA Foodservice. Go-to-market is entirely community-led and event-driven: new members are recruited through the existing ambassador network and peer-to-peer referrals, supplemented by a website, email newsletter, and reciprocal event access with Dutch partner Zorgnetwerk Nederland, which extends reach into the Netherlands. Partnerships are vetted by an advisory board to maintain a quality ratio between members and commercial sponsors.

The organization is independently run by organizers Susan Koenders and Rick Reefman, with Christophe Maes as primary contact, and operates with a lean team of 7 staff. The technology stack is conventional — a password-protected digital content library — with no AI or data-intensive components. Product expansion is centered on event programming (study tours, themed sessions) and geographic extension toward the Benelux via the Zorgnetwerk Nederland partnership, reflecting the stated ambition to grow into an international meeting platform for healthcare decision-makers.

Others

• Skipr: Dutch online media outlet focused on healthcare management, leadership, and innovation. Comparable as a thematic media and events platform serving healthcare executives in the Netherlands, operating more as a publisher than a membership community.
• Zorgvisie: Dutch healthcare media and events brand covering leadership, innovation, and policy in the Dutch care sector. Comparable as an adjacent B2B media and events platform serving Dutch healthcare decision-makers, though it is content-driven rather than a curated peer community.
• EHMA (European Health Management Association): European membership association for health management professionals, organizing conferences and knowledge exchange for healthcare managers. Comparable as a peer-membership community for healthcare executives in Europe, though operating at a supranational scale.

Broad incumbents

• HIMSS: Global healthcare information and management systems society running large-scale conferences, communities, and education programs for healthcare leaders. Comparable as a much larger incumbent in the healthcare executive community and events space, though focused on digital health and globally rather than Belgian/Dutch hospitality.
• NVZ (Nederlandse Vereniging van Ziekenhuizen): Dutch Hospital Association representing general and academic hospitals in the Netherlands. It is comparable to Cure Care Network as a broader convener of Dutch hospital executives, though NVZ focuses on sector advocacy and policy rather than cross-sector peer networking.
• Santhea: Belgian federation of public and non-profit hospital groups, representing many of the same hospital organizations that sit in Cure Care Network's ambassador base. Comparable as a broader-incumbent convener of Belgian hospital leadership, though Santhea operates as an advocacy and representation body rather than a paid membership community.
• Fédération des Hôpitaux Belges (Belgische Vereniging van Ziekenhuizen): Belgian hospital sector body historically representing hospital interests in Belgium. Comparable as an incumbent convener of Belgian hospital leadership alongside Cure Care Network's Cure segment, though it operates in a policy and representation capacity rather than paid membership.

Direct peers

• Zorgnetwerk Nederland: Dutch network for front-runners, executives, and facility directors in the hospital and healthcare sector. It is the most directly comparable peer to Cure Care Network, operating a similar curated community model for senior healthcare leaders and serving as Cure Care's reciprocal cross-border partner.
