VISION FOR HEALTHY LIVING Maastricht UMC+ works continuously to innovate healthcare, research, education and training. We cooperate and forge alliances to achieve our shared aims: innovation for sustainable healthcare and a healthy population. As a university medical centre, we focus on the treatment of patients with highly complex care needs that require university medical care, and we also provide basic healthcare for the patients in our region. We look beyond illness alone and take a broad view of health. Our position in prevention and health promotion is robust, with lifestyle and the physical and social environment playing an important part. We also keep sight of quality of life, sense of purpose and ethics. We carry out our core tasks of healthcare, research, education and training, and valorisation based on this comprehensive outlook. The needs and priorities of the public are paramount in this regard. We keep healthcare accessible and affordable by organising it so that the right care is available in the right place, at the right time and provided by the right professional. The changing role and position of patients are of key importance. Our patients receive optimised and personalised care. Digitisation and technology continuously offer new possibilities. Sustainability is a primary consideration, focusing on the vitality of people and the environment. We do all this in cooperation with our partners. We create networks within and outside the region, with Maastricht UMC+ as academic knowledge and intervention centre in collaboration with Maastricht University. Making connections is our strength and we take on an active and initiating role in this area. We encourage innovation, which leads to new applications that further improve people’s health. A healthy population is an important basis for economic development and progress. Students choose Maastricht because of our innovative and prestigious teaching. Researchers are attracted by our state-of-the-art infrastructure. For our staff, we are a caring employer that prioritises wellbeing, personal development and employability. Together, our healthcare professionals, researchers, educators and students connect our core tasks and thus contribute to a healthier region. 10 Healthy Living 2025
