Catharina Ziekenhuis

Catharina Ziekenhuis (English: Catharina Hospital) is the largest general hospital in Eindhoven. It is located on Michelangelolaan in Woensel. The Catharina Hospital is a top clinical and top referral teaching hospital. Due to the lack of an academic hospital within a short distance, it provides highly specialized care at an academic level. Its supraregional focal points are oncology (with the Catharina Cancer Institute, including a radiotherapy department) and cardiovascular diseases (with the largest heart and vascular center in the Netherlands).

It is one of the eight non-university hospitals authorized for open-heart surgery. As a training center for doctors and nurses, it has close ties with Maastricht University Medical Center Plus (Maastricht UMC+) and Eindhoven University of Technology. As a result of this collaboration, 19 professors are employed at the hospital, including Lukas Dekker, Volkher Scharnhorst, Ignace de Hingh, Chairman of the Board Nardo van der Meer, Huib van Vliet, Misha Luyer, and Pim Tonino.

The Catharina Hospital is also a member of Santeon, a collaborative group of seven major top clinical hospitals in the Netherlands, focused on quality improvement and innovation.
