Centre Hospitalier de Chambéry

What Centre Hospitalier de Chambéry does

Centre Hospitalier Métropole Savoie (CHMS), legally formed in 2015 through the merger of the hospitals of Chambéry and Aix-les-Bains, is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé, Finess juridique 73 000 00 15) operating across two main sites in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It serves as the supporting establishment (établissement support) of the GHT Savoie-Belley territorial hospital group, functioning as the regional reference acute-care hub.

The hospital's core offering spans 24/7 adult and pediatric emergency care (approximately 70,000-72,000 annual passages across both sites), a Type 3 maternity (Éveillon) with neonatal intensive care, surgical services with 11 operating theaters and 8 ambulatory rooms, oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, and a network of nine EHPAD nursing homes. A dedicated Clinical Research Unit (URC) managed 291 active trials in 2025 across oncology and other specialties and produced 74 scientific publications. Technical infrastructure consists of standard hospital IT — electronic health records via the national Mon espace santé portal, MonSisra secure messaging, ViaTrajectoire care coordination, telemedicine/télé-expertise, digital imaging, and laboratory systems — with the institutional website hosted by Orange Business Services' La Fabrique data center. Quality measurement follows the national IQSS framework, with e-Satis patient satisfaction scores of 76/100 in medicine/surgery/obstetrics and up to 84/100 in day surgery.

Commercially, CHMS operates under the French national health insurance system (Sécurité sociale), reimbursed via DRG/T2A pricing for inpatient stays and regulated fee schedules for consultations, with patients routed through emergency walk-ins, SAMU (15) dispatch, physician referrals, or scheduled appointments. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no private equity, venture capital, or parent ownership interests are reported. The establishment also generates limited ancillary revenue through donations via the Fond'hôp foundation, which has received support such as €140,000 from Odysséa 2026 for cancer supportive care.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Elsan: Major French private hospital group operating clinics across France with overlapping specialties (maternity, surgery, oncology); alternative employer of physicians and alternative site for elective cases.
• HCA Healthcare: Large US for-profit hospital operator; comparable acute, emergency, and specialty hospital portfolio at much larger scale, useful benchmark for operational benchmarks and capital allocation.
• Ramsay Santé: Largest private hospital operator in France; comparable inpatient, maternity, oncology, and imaging services but on a private-pay model — competitor for clinicians and certain elective volumes.
• Tenet Healthcare: Diversified hospital and ambulatory operator; comparable acute hospital footprint with adjacent outpatient and post-acute services relevant to CHMS's HAD offering.
• Hospices Civils de Lyon: Largest university hospital group in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes; operates comparable public acute, teaching, and research functions at much greater scale, serving as a regional referral competitor.
• CHU Grenoble Alpes: University hospital center for the broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region; comparable public acute and research model with a deeper specialty portfolio and catchment that overlaps CHMS's referral flows.

Emerging players

• Encompass Health: Post-acute and rehabilitation specialist; comparable to CHMS's HAD and SMR services in providing hospital-level care outside inpatient walls — a structural growth adjacency for French public hospitals.

Direct peers

• Centre Hospitalier Annecy Genevois (CHANGE): Public French hospital and direct partner of CHMS in the GCS RC2S clinical research group; serves a neighboring Alpine catchment with comparable acute, maternity, and research offerings.

Others

• Fondation Hôpitaux de France: Philanthropic and community fundraising partner for French public hospitals; comparable to CHMS's Fond'hôp dotation fund and relevant for understanding the philanthropic revenue layer of French public hospitals.

Regional players

• Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Aix-Pertuis: French public hospital in Provence with a similar two-site acute care model and EHPAD presence; useful comparability benchmark for mid-sized multi-site public hospitals outside major metros.
