umcg center for rehabilitation location beatrixoord

The UMCG Rehabilitation Center helps adults and children with disabilities or chronic illnesses to participate in society as independently as possible. As the only academic rehabilitation center in the Netherlands, the clinical and outpatient treatments are always based on the latest scientific insights.

A team of experts is dedicated to you as a patient. They guide and stimulate you in medical, physical, psycho-social, and vocational areas. Always as a team, and a medical specialist is always ultimately responsible.

The composition of the treatment team can vary for each treatment. During your rehabilitation period (both inpatient and outpatient), you may encounter different treatment providers and staff.

You are a partner in the treatment. Together with the experts, you determine the goals of your rehabilitation and work with the experts to achieve those goals. This way, you get the best out of yourself and explore your limits. You train your physical functions and condition and practice skills needed at home, work, or hobbies. Your partner, family, or other loved ones are involved in the treatment as much as possible.
