Jan Herweijer was awarded the Honorary Medal of the municipality of Almere on Friday, July 4, by Mayor Hein van der Loo. Jan has dedicated more than 30 years to the health and well-being of children and families in Almere. He started as a general practitioner and later worked as an administrator at Zorggroep Almere and Youth Health Care. Thanks to his vision and dedication, JGZ has become an indispensable link in the social domain of our city.
Jan is a connector at heart and did his work with great commitment and new ideas. He brought education, care, and welfare together, always with an eye on what children truly need. As a partner put it: “He always kept the goal in mind: that the youth of Almere can grow up healthy and with opportunities.”
The municipality of Almere is grateful to Jan Herweijer for his years of contribution. His dedication has lasting value.
