Hôpital de Fourvière

What Hôpital de Fourvière does

Hôpital de Fourvière is a private non-profit ESPIC (Établissement de Santé Privé d'Intérêt Collectif) gerontological hospital located on the Fourvière hill in Lyon's 5th arrondissement, operating across a 5-hectare park at 10 rue Roger Radisson. Founded in 1842 by Jeanne Garnier as the Œuvre des Dames du Calvaire, it is one of five establishments in the Fédération Jeanne Garnier and a member of FEHAP. The hospital runs an integrated geriatric platform with approximately 265 beds and places: 58 Médecine (MCO), 80 Soins Médicaux et de Réadaptation (SMR) including a Unité Cognitivo-Comportementale (UCC), 100 Unités de Soins de Longue Durée (USLD) including a 12-bed Unité d'Hébergement Renforcé (UHR), a 12-place Hôpital de Jour, and a 15-place Accueil de Jour ('La Ferme'). Supplementary services include external consultations (memory, incontinence, diabetes, SAS), balnéothérapie, an Équipe Mobile Gériatrique (EMG) operating intra- and extra-hospital, and the award-winning 'Pause Aimants' caregiver respite space. Approximately 300 collaborators, including 37 physicians and a team of neuropsychologues, support the clinical offering.

The hospital's core technology comprises a Dossier Patient Informatisé (DPI) system being upgraded for interoperability with France's national 'Mon Espace Santé' health data platform via European SONS programme funding, alongside specialized therapeutic equipment (TOVERTAFEL interactive cognitive-stimulation table, multisensory rooms, therapeutic gardens, balnéothérapie pool, adapted minibus, miniature 'Maison pédagogique'). Clinical innovation is delivered through domain-specialized gerontological prevention programmes: PROGESTIM (collective cognitive stimulation), PROGEPHY (individualized physical rehabilitation) and PROGECO (collective physical restoration), all co-financed by Métropole de Lyon and CNSA. The institution sustains a 10+ year cultural programming track including concerts in its 19th-century chapel and the 2026 'Faille(s)' marionnette residency.

Revenue is generated through French statutory health insurance (Assurance Maladie / Sécurité sociale) reimbursement for MCO, SMR, and day hospital services, GIR-based hébergement and dépendance tariffs for USLD (partially subsidized via Métropole de Lyon APA funding), and GIR-based Accueil de Jour contributions. A supplementary revenue stream comes from tax-deductible donations and legacies actively solicited to fund equipment and renovation. The operating model is enterprise-style referral driven: emergency admissions arrive predominantly via a formal convention with Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph-Saint Luc through the embedded EMG; programmed admissions flow through referring physicians, EHPAD coordinating physicians, and a dedicated professional hotline. FY2023 revenue was 25.27 M€ against an operating budget of ~25 M€, with key activity volumes of 1,056 medicine stays, 783 SMR stays, 1,316 labelled memory consultations, 2,673 outpatient visits, and 855 EMG opinions yielding a 10.1% emergency-avoidance rate.

Direct peers

• Maison Médicale Jeanne Garnier (Paris): Fellow ESPIC establishment within the FÉdération Jeanne Garnier (the same five-member federation as Hôpital de Fourvière). Specializes in palliative care in Paris; comparable as a non-profit ESPIC geriatric/palliative institution under shared governance, funding mix, and ESPIC regulatory regime.
• Groupe ACPPA (Résidom): French associative (non-profit) operator of EHPAD and home care services for the elderly, headquartered in the Lyon region and a formal partner of Hôpital de Fourvière since July 2025. Directly comparable as a non-profit elderly care provider serving the same Rhône-Alpes territory and patient demographic.
• Hôpital Saint Joseph-Saint Luc (Lyon): ESPIC hospital in Lyon whose emergency department is the principal source of Hôpital de Fourvière's admissions under a formal convention. Comparable as a non-profit ESPIC hospital in the same city, with overlapping acute and specialty care missions for the same population.
• Centre Sainte Elisabeth (Saint-Étienne): Member of the FÉdération Jeanne Garnier alongside Hôpital de Fourvière, providing palliative and chronic care under the same ESPIC governance framework. Directly comparable as a federation peer in mission, funding model, and historical heritage.
• Clinique Sainte Elisabeth (Marseille): FÉdération Jeanne Garnier member establishment in Marseille. Directly comparable as a sister ESPIC institution under the same federation with similar non-profit operating model and palliative/chronic care focus.
• Maison de Santé Marie Galène (Bordeaux): Fifth member of the FÉdération Jeanne Garnier, a palliative care establishment in Bordeaux. Directly comparable to Hôpital de Fourvière as a federation peer operating under identical ESPIC governance and heritage from Jeanne Garnier.

Broad incumbents

• Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL): Largest public university hospital group in the Lyon metropolis and a resource-sharing partner of Hôpital de Fourvière. Comparable as a regional hospital operator with overlapping geriatric services, but materially larger and broader in scope (general hospital vs. specialist geriatric ESPIC).
• Clariane (formerly Korian): Major European for-profit operator of nursing homes, clinics, and home care services including for elderly populations. Comparable as a competitor/adjacent provider in the French geriatric and long-term care market, but operates at much greater scale and as a listed commercial group rather than an ESPIC.
• Orpea (France): Major French-headquartered for-profit operator of EHPAD, clinics, and home care services. Comparable in serving the same elderly demographic and French long-term care market, but operates as a large commercial group with a different ownership and funding model.
• DomusVi: French for-profit operator of nursing homes (EHPAD), senior serviced residences, and home care services. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the French elderly residential and care market, but commercially structured rather than ESPIC.
