CHAM

What CHAM does

CHAM — Centre Hospitalier Albertville-Moûtiers — is a French public hospital establishment (Etablissement public) operating under legal entity SIREN 267 311 090, with headquarters at 253 rue Pierre de Coubertin, 73208 Albertville, and additional sites at Moûtiers and Saint-Pierre d'Albigny in the Savoie department. Founded circa 1992, it serves the healthcare needs of residents, seasonal workers, and tourists across the Albertville-Moûtiers, Val d'Arly, Beaufortain, and Tarentaise basins — a catchment that includes internationally renowned ski resorts. CHAM operates within the Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire (GHT) Savoie-Belley, a regional coordination structure for public hospitals.

Its service portfolio spans the full spectrum of a mid-sized French regional hospital: 24/7 emergency care, orthopedic and traumatological surgery, visceral and digestive surgery, maternity and gynecology, sports medicine (including high-level athletes), pediatrics and neonatology, geriatrics (including long-term care and memory consultations), oncology (day-hospital chemotherapy), medical imaging, palliative care (mobile team), post-acute rehabilitation (SSR), continuous surveillance, and home hospitalization. Patient-facing digital services include Doctolib-integrated online appointment booking and online payment of hospital stay fees ('frais de séjour').

The business model is that of a French public hospital: services are primarily reimbursed by the Sécurité Sociale under national tariff schedules, with residual co-pays depending on patient coverage. CHAM is government-owned and not a commercial entity — it does not raise private capital and operates under a public service mandate. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity centers on a €15.6 million renovation of the Moûtiers site (announced August 2025, 41-month timeline) and ongoing equipment reinvestment, including €155,000 in France Relance credits received in 2023. The hospital is led by Director General Florent Chambaz, with Emmanuelle Dumond serving as Director of Publication.

Regional players

• Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Caux-Vallée de Seine (CHICS) — group purchasing analog: Noted as an additional reference point for French multi-site public hospital groups similar in operating structure to CHAM, illustrating the broader French model of intercommunal hospital coordination. Listed for structural comparability rather than direct competition.

Broad incumbents

• CHU Grenoble Alpes: Larger university hospital serving as the reference tertiary center for the entire Savoie-Isère region including CHAM's referrals. Overlaps in trauma, oncology and specialty surgery but operates at broader academic scale.
• Hospices Civils de Lyon: Largest university hospital network in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, functioning as upstream reference center for complex cases from Savoie including from CHAM's catchment. Provides scaling and capability peer benchmark.

Direct peers

• Centre Hospitalier de Bourg-Saint-Maurice: Smaller public hospital inside the CHAM extended territory serving the upper Tarentaise ski resorts. Direct feeder/partner site with overlapping emergency and trauma services in the same mountain geography.
• Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne: Public hospital in Maurienne valley (neighboring Savoie valley) with similar rural mountain profile, GHT coordination, and orthopedic/trauma demand from ski tourism. Closely comparable rural public-hospital model.
• Centre Hospitalier Métropole Savoie (Chambéry): Sister public hospital inside the same GHT Savoie-Belley, sharing coordinated care pathways, medical expertise and capex prioritization. Most direct operational peer for CHAM in the Savoie department.
• Centre Hospitalier Annecy Genevois (CHANGE): Nearby multi-site public hospital serving a similarly Alpine/mountain population including ski-resort demand. Directly comparable as a regional general hospital competing for the same patient base on the northern edge of Savoie.
• Hôpitaux du Mont-Blanc (Sallanches / Chamonix): Multi-site public hospital serving Haute-Savoie mountain valleys with ski-resort, sports medicine, and trauma demand highly comparable to CHAM's Tarentaise catchment. Closest analog in service mix and geographic profile.
