The hospital in Baarn, a local branch of the Amersfoort Meander Medical Center, has become increasingly vacant in recent years. Meander has announced that he wants to leave next year. Baarn wants to use the vacant land to build care homes and senior housing. A small outpatient clinic in Meander may also remain. One idea that is alive is that the residents of the Santvoorde care home would move there, which would free up a housing development site with fewer restrictions.
