The Catharina Hospital (SCZ) is an innovative, ambitious large community hospital in Eindhoven (The Netherlands), with a main focus on cardiac care and oncology. The hospital houses the Catharina Heart and Vascular Center, the largest heart and vascular centre in the Netherlands. Part of this centre is the largest Dutch electrophysiology practice.

The Catharina Heart and Vascular Center has a strong track record in developing, studying and implementing technological innovations in cardiac interventions (e.g. FFR and the FAME-studies). The centre is considered an international frontrunner in the implementation of value-based health care (VBHC) and has won the international VBHC-prize in 2014, 2016 and 2018. For example, the 2018 VBHC-prize was awarded for the Netherlands Heart Network launched by the CHC; this is a regional network for cardiac care among primary, secondary and tertiary care in the Eindhoven area.
