Since 1992, WZH Nieuw Berkendael has specialized in care for people with very serious brain injury after coma, including the care and treatment of vulnerable people with Long-Term Disorders of Consciousness (LBS). Since 2016, WZH Nieuw Berkendael, together with eight care organizations, has been actively involved in the national Expertise Network Serious NAH (EENnacoma). WZH Nieuw Berkendael has the ambition to develop into a Target Group Expertise Center (DEC) for people with LBS after recently acquired brain injury (post-acute phase) and a Regional Expertise Center for people with LBS in the chronic phase (REC). The aim is to take the care and treatment of people with LBS to a higher level, in which chain cooperation, development of care programs, research, increasing expertise and knowledge are important components. WZH Nieuw Berkendael also offers rehabilitation care to people with very serious brain injury, including cognitive rehabilitation.
