Spaarne Gasthuis maintains full-service hospital in Haarlem-South
Spaarne Gasthuis has announced it will maintain a full-service hospital in Haarlem-Zuid, providing 24-hour and emergency care while converting its Hoofddorp site into a day-treatment facility. The City of Haarlem supports the decision and is exploring financial measures to assist with the hospital's development, which is scheduled for completion in 2032.
The Spaarne Gasthuis hospital has confirmed that it will maintain a full-service medical facility in Haarlem-Zuid, providing round-the-clock care and emergency services. This decision follows a strategic review prompted by increasing healthcare demands, which previously raised uncertainty regarding the future of the hospital's various locations. While the Haarlem-Zuid facility will remain a comprehensive hospital, the site in Hoofddorp is set to transition into a day-treatment center for planned care. Haarlem-Noord will continue to serve as a location for outpatient clinics.
Local authorities in Haarlem have expressed strong support for this outcome, following a city council mandate from 2024 to preserve full hospital services within the city. To assist with the transition and future infrastructure requirements, the municipality is currently investigating options such as providing a financial guarantee and potentially purchasing land in Haarlem-Noord. The new hospital facilities are expected to be fully constructed and operational by 2032. Residents are invited to attend an information meeting at the Boerhaavelaan location to discuss these changes further.
