Vigo B.v.

What Vigo B.v. does

VIGO B.v. (legally Stichting VIGO) is a Dutch non-profit healthcare foundation headquartered in Nijmegen, formed in May 2019 through the merger of GGZ institution Vincent van Gogh and the CONRISQ Groep, and rebranded to VIGO in July 2020. The group delivers person-centred mental health care, youth care, social work, and (until July 2026) forensic psychiatric care across South and Central Netherlands through five specialized operating subsidiaries: Vincent van Gogh (specialized GGZ, ~12,000 patients/year), Pactum (youth care including JeugdzorgPlus), Centiv (basic GGZ for mild-to-moderate conditions), GGZ Momentum (specialized GGZ for personality disorders, addiction, and compulsive disorders; merged in March 2022), and Rooyse Wissel (forensic psychiatric care, scheduled for divestiture in 2026). VIGO complements its clinical services with a digital ecosystem including the GZ-Kompas screening tool, GZ-Schakel referral intake, GZ-Plein professional-matching platform, 123consultatie.nl GP-consultation chat, Viviq digital treatments, the TABOEIEND mental-health awareness program (featuring the Robot Foob avatar), a Miles smart care watch for remote monitoring, and a VR-based aggression prevention treatment.

The business model is reimbursement-driven under Dutch healthcare law: VIGO is paid by health insurers (notably five-year contracts with Coöperatie VGZ and CZ covering GGZ and Long-term Care under the Wlz), municipalities for Jeugdwet-funded youth care, and other regulated Dutch frameworks (Zorgverzekeringswet, Wet langdurige zorg). The group operates across roughly 10 office locations spanning Nijmegen, Breda, Eindhoven, Helmond, 's-Hertogenbosch, Venray, Zetten, and Deurne, with 1,001-5,000 employees, and runs an active research agenda through Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen and Maastricht University. Following the December 2023 collective board resignation, IG&H-cleared governance review, and ongoing leadership transition (Ron Akkerman as chair from June 2025, Hester den Hartog from August 2026), VIGO is refocusing on its non-forensic core while divesting Rooyse Wissel.
