Within the Healthy Region theme, we connect board members and other partners from our network in coalitions. In the long term, we are working to reduce health disparities within the Amsterdam region.

Following the kick-off of the Healthy Region theme in February, partners collectively made their choice for three new coalitions. These coalitions started in April, led by Board partners Amsterdam UMC, Philips, ROM InWest and Rochdale.

The new coalitions are working on:

The Sleeping Giant/ Innovation District MRA

This involves strengthening the current, fragmented ecosystem of organisations and innovation districts. As well as supporting the valorisation and innovation within the regional LSH sector.

MRA with a Heart

Working towards an integrative inclusive approach to improve cardio vascular health and work on prevention. Building on real-world data, with insights into behavior. With a research and implementation pathway, including simulation models for specific interventions and policies.

Healthy Buildings

The focus here is on innovative housing solutions, with attention to social cohesion, health and integration of digital care technology. In Amsterdam’s Gein neighbourhood, Rochdale has already started this. Together we can help scale it up.

In a fourth coalition within the Healthy Region theme, partners have been working together successfully for many years:

Zorg2040

The coalition partners organise events, including the regional preliminaries for the Zorginnovatieprijs. The aim of the Zorg2040 meetings is to bring together care innovators, businesses, researchers and knowledge institutions in the field of health and prevention.

Would you and your organisation like to be involved as a partner in these coalitions? Please feel free to contact us.
