Colleagues from the very beginning in conversation with Jan Willem and Petra, the founders of the Yes We Can Healthcare Group

17 Oct 2025 - news

What began as an outdoor and survival camp in the Ardennes grew into a magical place where young people are truly seen and can be completely themselves.

They are the founders of a place where thousands of lives have been changed. Jan Willem and Petra, the founders of the Yes We Can Healthcare Group, sit down together with three of the very first colleagues — Derek, Sander and Kevin — for an intimate and heartfelt conversation. They reflect on those very first steps in the clinic, on believing in something no one thought possible, and on the path they walked together — with setbacks and successes, but always with full dedication.

In their conversation, they share countless special moments with fellows, families and colleagues. They also speak about tears of joy and frustration, about doubt, pride and hope. About the importance of continuing to believe in one another, in the team, and in the power of togetherness. About a time when everything was new, yet the mission was crystal clear: everything for the fellows — and we never let anyone go.

And about continuing to do what truly matters: being there unconditionally for the fellows, Zero&Sano residents and their families.

What once started with a small team has now grown into an organisation of 550 colleagues, making a difference every day for thousands of young people. But the story began there, on that very first day, with people who dared to believe.

This video is more than a look back. It is the story of how something small grew into something extraordinary — built on faith, hope and the power of togetherness.
