About Flevoziekenhuis

Our vision

Care for our patients without borders

Our patients deserve the care that suits them best. Our insight is that the most appropriate care is provided from a multidisciplinary and organizational-transcending network around the patient. Care without borders does not mean that we focus on maximum available care and everything that is possible. By care without boundaries we mean that our patients experience no boundaries in their care process, regardless of whether that is care in our hospital, in the social domain or in primary, secondary or tertiary care. It means that as a hospital we do not always know everything and do everything ourselves. We organize care in such a way that the patient receives the best care, at the right time, by the right care provider. Care without noticeable barriers, provided where it adds the most value.

Our mission

We provide appropriate care with personal attention.

Together with our healthcare and network partners, we bring that care to our patients. Our care fits the personal situation and capabilities of our patients and their loved ones. The needs and quality of their lives come first, at all stages of life. We encourage patients to take more control in their care process. We do this by deciding together on the best approach, by listening carefully to the request for help and communicating in an understandable way.

Our core values

Our core values are the basis for our way of working and how we interact with each other, our patients and partners.

Our core values are:

Human-centered

We take into account the different backgrounds and situations of our patients and each other. We want you to feel seen and heard. Who are you, what drives you, what can you do and what do you want to achieve? We want to know that. Getting to know you helps us tailor our care to your situation and wishes. This way we offer the best possible customized care.

Driven

Providing you with the best care is what we stand for every day. We are experts and like to tackle things. We can achieve a lot with this. The lines within our hospital are short. Coming up with solutions together is part of us DNA. Even when things get difficult, we persevere. Just like you during your recovery or when you are working on your health. We have a heart for you, for each other, for Almere and for the region. And we are proud of that.

Unifying

Together we are even stronger, and we feel that every day. In our interactions with you as a patient and with each other as colleagues, no matter what role we have. We use each other's strengths and think along with one another. The same applies to the network we are part of. We do everything to guide you in the best possible way: at the right place, at the right time, with the right partner, and the right resources. By combining our strengths and knowledge, we achieve more.

Investigative

We are always looking for ways to treat you even better. We consider which tools to use to address your healthcare needs, as well as how you can best organize your lifestyle to prevent illness. By researching, measuring, and evaluating, we are guided by the facts. This keeps our perspective sharp and focused on the future. In this way, we tailor your patient journey to be as comfortable and effective as possible, suited to you as an individual.

Friendly

You are someone who matters. We pay attention to each other, to you, and we know your name. We listen to you and make sure you feel at ease. We warmly welcome you and your loved ones to our hospital, both upon arrival and on the departments. Wherever you are, every time, again and again.

Our profile

Once started in a modest building, in a city full in development, the Flevo Hospital has grown into the hospital for the residents of Almere and the region.  Our hospital has a broad spectrum of specialist medical care and an Emergency Department (ER) and Intensive Care where patients can go 24/7.  We provide outpatient care and day treatment to children and young people from 0 to 18 years in De Kinderkliniek. We provide the right care in the right place and at the right time as much as possible: close to the patient if possible, in the hospital if necessary. We do not do this alone, but together with our regional healthcare partners from primary, secondary and tertiary care, with whom we work intensively in a healthcare network. 

The healthcare landscape is continuously developing and at the same time the demand for healthcare is changing and increasing. Social initiatives to organize healthcare regionally, transparently and digitally accessible are continuing to develop. Together with our healthcare network, we face the challenge of keeping the ever-rising healthcare costs in check while continuing to provide appropriate care.
