Meander Medical Center
Amersfoort, Netherlands
Meander Medical Center is a hospital in Amersfoort. The Meander Medical Center has replaced the two old existing hospitals. The new hospital opened in December 2013 and covers an area of 113,000 m², offering space for 600 beds.
Meander has won the WAN Award Health Care 2014 because of the focus on patient and visitor. The jury found Meander a well-deserved winner. Judges commented; ‘it’s a proper city, which is really hard to pull off well’ and ‘it hits some big innovation buttons in terms of workflow of people. Essentially this is a clinical facility, but it has definitely got a sense of humanity at the core’.
The Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort is a completely new type of hospital. In this impressive health care institution, the patient remains central and the connection with the surrounding nature is strongly felt throughout the building. This creates a healing environment where partly thanks to the inclusion of only private rooms patients can gain more rest for a fast recovery.
