Strengthening the healing environment for people and nature
A green environment does wonders – for patients, healthcare workers and nature itself. That is why we are committed to more greenery in mental health care via Green Mental Health and in care for the disabled via De Groene Gehandicaptenzorg. We are also working on greening elderly care, hospital care and the greening of neighborhoods. More nature in and around care institutions and in neighborhoods helps to strengthen biodiversity, provides relaxation and contributes to the vitality of everyone who lives, works or visits there.
Programs and projects
Together with our partners, we put this vision into practice. We do this through programs and projects that have a direct impact. Take a look!
