AUB Santé

What AUB Santé does

AUB Santé is a French non-profit healthcare foundation established in 1971 by professors and doctors from CHU de Rennes to deliver extrahospitalary care for chronic renal insufficiency patients. Recognized as a Fondation Reconnue d'Utilité Publique by decree on April 21, 2017, the organization operates 42 structures across Brittany and South Manche with approximately 950 employees, organized around three mission pillars: prevention, accompaniment, and treatment.

The foundation operates five interconnected service lines: chronic kidney disease treatment (including in-center hemodialysis, home hemodialysis, nocturnal long hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and self-dialysis units); hospitalization at home (HAD, launched 2005) covering rehabilitation, palliative care, and post-surgical recovery; home-based nutrition and perfusion services; home assistance services (SAAD, launched 2013) for elderly and disabled persons; and QUALIOPI-certified professional training for healthcare workers. Technical capabilities include ultrasound-guided puncture in hemodialysis, a technique the foundation has developed and trained on over the past five years for improved vascular access precision.

Revenue is generated primarily through reimbursement under the French public healthcare system (Sécurité Sociale/Assurance Maladie) for clinical services, supplemented by professional training fees funded through OPCO and France Travail, and home assistance fees that may carry tax advantages (crédit d'impôt). Patient acquisition is driven by referrals from hospitals, general practitioners, and specialists, layered with community-led outreach through Semaine du Rein screenings, patient association partnerships (France Rein), and patient education programs. The organization operates with no parent company and is governed by a board led by President Dr Didier Legrand and Director Gaëlle Durocher.

Revenue model

1. Healthcare services reimbursement: As a non-profit healthcare foundation recognized as being of public utility, AUB Santé operates under the French healthcare system (Sécurité Sociale/Assurance Maladie) framework.

Training is funded through professional development mechanisms (OPCO, France Travail, etc.) and generates revenue through course fees.
3. Home assistance services: Home help and assistance services for elderly and disabled persons, potentially with tax advantages (avantage fiscal, crédit d'impôt) as referenced on the website. Services include daily living assistance, night supervision, and childcare support.

Direct peers

• Fondation Hopale: French non-profit healthcare foundation operating rehabilitation, dialysis, and home-care services across northern France. Closely analogous non-profit foundation model with multi-activity structure (rehabilitation + dialysis + home services).
• Fondation AURA (AURA Paris Plaisance): French non-profit healthcare foundation operating dialysis centers including AURA Paris Plaisance, which is explicitly referenced in the data as a collaborator with AUB Santé on the Paris 2024 patient story. Closest comparable in mission, structure, and service mix (dialysis-centric non-profit foundation).
• Calydial: French non-profit dialysis operator based in the Lyon region offering in-center, home, and peritoneal dialysis. Comparable non-profit, dialysis-only focus that overlaps with AUB Santé's core MRC activity.
• AIDER (Association pour l'Utilisation du Rein Artificiel): French non-profit association operating a large network of dialysis centers and home dialysis programs across southern France. Directly comparable mission and dialysis-centric model, providing a regional analog to AUB Santé's Brittany footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Orpea (Emeis): French-headquartered operator of long-term care facilities, clinics, and home services. Comparable to AUB Santé's planned Le Rheu Senior Residence and home assistance activity, though at much broader national and international scale.
• Fresenius Medical Care: World's largest dialysis services and products company, operating hundreds of clinics globally including France. Competes with AUB Santé in dialysis delivery while also supplying equipment — a structural incumbent in the same category.
• Diaverum France: Global for-profit dialysis operator with significant French presence, running dialysis clinics and home dialysis programs. Overlaps with AUB Santé's core dialysis business but operates at national scale as a commercial entity rather than a regional non-profit.
• Korian: Major European operator of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home care services, with significant French footprint. Comparable on the SAAD and forthcoming Senior Residence vertical, but operates as a large for-profit network across Europe.

Others

• Elsan: Leading French private hospital group operating clinics and home hospitalization services. Comparable on the HAD activity and partner-hospital relationships, though operates as a for-profit acute-care network rather than a chronic-care foundation.

Emerging players

• Bastide Médical: French home healthcare provider focused on respiratory, perfusion, and nutrition services delivered at home. Comparable to AUB Santé's Nutrition/Perfusion line and part of the broader French home-care competitive landscape.
