About us
Directeur Wit Gele Kruis Aruba
I also find it important that we remain an inspiring and attractive employer – and even more: that we grow into one of the top three employers in healthcare in Aruba. Achieving this calls for lasting relationships, both with our employees and with our partners in the healthcare sector.
I look forward to building this future together with you – our clients, partners, and colleagues – so that the Wit Gele Kruis Aruba continues to be not only a reliable healthcare provider, but also an organization that makes us all proud.
Warm regards,
Edwin Roos
Director, Wit Gele Kruis Aruba
Dear reader,
With great joy, I began my role as Director of the Wit Gele Kruis Aruba on April 1, 2025. Although my professional background lies mainly in the banking and IT sectors, the world of healthcare is by no means unfamiliar to me. Since 2011, I have been involved with the board of the Wit Gele Kruis, and from 2017 I have had the honor of serving as Chair. In that role, I was able to contribute to the growth of our organization, and now I am grateful for the opportunity to continue this journey as Director.
It is a true honor to lead an organization that has held such a meaningful place in Aruban society for so many years. My goal is to carry forward the values and spirit of the Wit Gele Kruis while ensuring that we are ready for the future. Together with our team, I want to strengthen our organization from within, expand the services we provide, and build a sustainable financial foundation.
Vision:
The Foundation for Public Health of the Wit Gele Kruis Aruba envisions a future where every member of the Aruban society has access to high-quality and accessible extramural care. We aim to be at the forefront of healthcare delivery, offering services that are not only medically advanced but also tailored to the unique needs of our community. Our vision is to create a healthcare landscape where excellence, accessibility, and patient-centric care are the norms, and where our role as a leading provider is marked by continuous innovation, dedication to excellence, and a deep commitment to the well-being of every individual in the Aruban society.
Mission:
Our mission is to promote and safeguard the health and wellbeing of the Aruban community through the provision of exceptional, patient-centered extramural healthcare services. We are committed to continuous improvement in healthcare delivery, embracing innovative practices and technologies that enhance patient care and outcomes. Our approach is holistic, encompassing not only physical health but also mental and social well-being, recognizing the interconnected nature of these aspects in overall health. We strive to be leaders in public health advocacy, working collaboratively with community partners to address health challenges and to foster a healthier, more informed, and resilient Aruban society. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to set new standards in healthcare excellence, ensuring that every individual in our community has the opportunity to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.
