Centre hospitalier de Cornouaille

What Centre hospitalier de Cornouaille does

Centre hospitalier de Cornouaille (legal name: Centre Hospitalier de Cornouaille; trade names CH de Cornouaille, CHIC Cornouaille) is a French public healthcare establishment (établissement public de santé) operating two hospital sites — Hôpital Laënnec in Quimper and Hôpital Le Porzou in Concarneau — in southern Finistère, Brittany. It is the support establishment of the Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire de l'Union Hospitalière de Cornouaille (GHT UHC), a network of five public facilities encompassing 2,996 beds and places across South Finistère. The hospital functions as the regional reference centre for acute care, delivering 133,186 annual hospitalization stays, 2,037 births (level 2b maternity with neonatology), 11,000+ pediatric emergency visits, and 98,835 post-acute care days, alongside an elderly-care capacity of 494 beds. Its clinical platform spans 24/7 adult and pediatric emergency departments, a Da Vinci Xi robotic surgery program (1,000+ urological procedures since December 2018), comprehensive medical imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, vascular radiology), cancer care through the Institut de Cancérologie de Cornouaille, sexual and reproductive health services, neonatology, and the UAPED child-protection unit. Certification 'Qualité des Soins Confirmée' was issued by the Haute Autorité de Santé in 2023, and the hospital is consistently ranked by Le Point magazine across gynecological, orthopedic, digestive, and urological surgical specialties.

Revenue mechanics are those of a public hospital: primarily reimbursed by France's Sécurité Sociale under national tariff schedules (AMELI-published fee schedules for imaging), supplemented by complementary health insurance (mutuelle) and patient co-payments (ticket modérateur), with additional inflows from public procurement managed on behalf of GHT partners (€130M budget, 273 markets attributed in 2024). The network-level operating budget is reported at €590M. The establishment employs 1,001–5,000 staff and is governed by a Directoire, Conseil de Surveillance (presided by the Mayor of Quimper, Isabelle ASSIH), Commission Médicale d'Établissement (president Marc COUSTANS), and CSE, with Yann DUBOIS serving as Director and Nathalie FREMIN as Coordonnatrice Générale des Soins. Distribution relies on emergency access (SAMU/15), general-practitioner referrals, and integrated GHT pathways, with outbound specialist consultations to city physicians enabled by the Omnidoc tele-expertise platform and the Espace Ville-Hôpital directory.
