Responding together to a changing healthcare market
The healthcare sector faces a major societal challenge: demand for care is rising rapidly, while the availability of healthcare professionals is under increasing pressure. In order to keep supporting care optimally, scaling up and collaboration within the medical aids sector is essential. The combined expertise and investment capacity within Avance Care Group help keep medical aids available, high-quality and affordable in the long term.
Continuity of the trusted service
When joining the group, continuity for customers, employees and suppliers is the top priority. Joerns Healthcare will continue to serve the market under its own name and from its current base. The same applies to the existing companies within Avance Care Group. For business relations, this means they can continue to rely on their trusted contacts, existing agreements and the high-quality service they are used to, while the organisations within the group benefit from each other’s knowledge and scale.
