Through the Personal & Professional Development Portal of Maastricht University she found Serve the City. Serve the City focuses on connecting people. Those who are struggling can rely on the volunteers of Serve the City. Whether it is large projects or small gestures, almost nothing is too much.

Drawing blood, inserting an IV, or looking into the ear; even seemingly simple medical procedures can cause anxiety, pain, and stress in children. According to pediatric intensivist Piet Leroy, comfort and trust are just as important as the medical treatment itself. Therefore, he is researching how healthcare providers can offer trauma-free care and how they can learn to apply comfort care. Leroy has been appointed as a professor of "procedural comfort care, sedation, and analgesia in children for trauma-free care," and delivered his inaugural speech titled "Embrace Vulnerability" on March 8, 2024.

Ageing well isn’t just about physique. It also means being aware of a healthy brain. To prevent dementia, Martin van Boxtel and his colleagues from ‘Alzheimer Centrum Limburg’ founded the Maastricht Ageing Study (MAAS) 30 years ago. MAAS kept track of 2043 people over 25 years in a longitudinal study to collect data for dementia research. The final follow-up was completed in 2023, a year before Martin’s retirement. In honour of his work, we asked Martin about his proudest moments during his career.
