What CHB does

CHB (Centre Hospitalier de Bourg-en-Bresse) is a French public health establishment (Établissement public de santé) headquartered at 900 Route de Paris, 01012 Bourg-en-Bresse, in the Ain department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It serves as the reference hospital (centre de référence) for the Ain department and as the support institution for the Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire (GHT) Bresse-Haut-Bugey, a territorial network of six partner hospitals and multiple EHPADs. The facility employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates across two main sites — the Fleyriat campus and the Hôtel-Dieu — supplemented by EHPAD Emile Pélicand, a day hospital, respite platform, and a satellite laboratory in Oyonnax.

The hospital delivers care across seven clinical, medico-technical, and support poles covering medicine, surgery, critical care, mother-child, geriatrics, oncology, and transversal services. Its technology stack includes a Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system for urological procedures (164 robot-assisted procedures since February 2020), HALCYON and EDGE linear accelerators with stereotactic capability for radiotherapy (20,780 sessions in 2024 serving 1,144 patients), a Siemens 4D CT scanner, a 3 Tesla MRI installed in 2021 via the GCS Imagerie Médicale de l'Ain partnership, and a COFRAC-accredited multi-site medical biology laboratory processing 622,601 samples in 2023. Specialized services include cancer care coordination through a 3C center and OncoAura network, a neurovascular unit treating 521 stroke patients in 2020, palliative care via USP and mobile EMASP team (~800 patients/year), gastroenterology (~6,000 endoscopies/year), nephrology-dialysis, onco-hematology, thoracic surgery, maxillofacial surgery, and home hospitalization (HAD). A Clinical Research Unit, established in 2018, enables participation in clinical trials, and the hospital runs its own training institutes (IFSI, IFAS, École de maïeutique, CESU).

Revenue is generated through the French national health insurance system (Sécurité Sociale) under the T2A (tarification à l'activité) DRG-based reimbursement model, supplemented by specific allocations and regulated consultation tariffs. The hospital is government-owned, holds no equity, and is not publicly traded. Pricing is uniform under national tariffs with Assurance Maladie covering 70-100% of costs and supplementary mutuelles covering the remainder. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer through hospital facilities and the GHT territorial network, with no commercial marketing beyond institutional communications. Key external partnerships include the Hospices Civils de Lyon for cardiology, the OncoAura cancer network, GCS Imagerie Médicale de l'Ain for imaging, and ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes for regulatory authorization. The hospital was certified by the Haute Autorité de Santé in January 2024.
