Fondation Oeuvre de la Croix Saint-Simon

What Fondation Oeuvre de la Croix Saint-Simon does

Fondation Oeuvre de la Croix Saint-Simon is a French private non-profit foundation, recognized as of public utility since 1922, that operates a cradle-to-grave portfolio of sanitary and medico-social services across the Île-de-France region. Headquartered in Paris, the foundation runs 50+ directly-operated facilities organized into five strategic poles — Petite Enfance (early childhood), Santé (health), Personnes Âgées-Handicapées (elderly and disabled), Soins Palliatifs (palliative care, which hosts the national Centre National des Soins Palliatifs et de la Fin de Vie), and Formation (training) — serving approximately 100,000 users, patients, and families per year. Core operations include home hospitalization (HAD), home nursing services (SSIAD 75 and 92), medico-social support for disabled adults (SAMSAH 75), EHPAD nursing homes (Saint Vincent de Paul in Stains and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in Villejuif), day care centers for Alzheimer's patients, medical and dental health centers (70,000+ annual visits), a mother-child hospital (Hôpital Mère-Enfant de l'Est Parisien), the Villa Vauvenargues perinatal/childcare facility, sexual health, addiction, and parental support centers, an Atelier Santé Ville community health coordination unit, and the Institut de Formation Paramédicale et Sociale (IFPS) training 1,000+ healthcare professionals annually.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) regulated healthcare and medico-social service delivery funded by French national health insurance (Sécurité Sociale), regional health agency contracts with ARS Île-de-France, and departmental/local government contracts; (2) professional training fees through the IFPS (IFSI, IFTS, IFP/AP programs); and (3) charitable donations including tax-deductible IFI and LEGS legacy gifts. Pricing for residential elderly care (EHPAD Saint Vincent de Paul) is set at approximately 80€/day — among the most competitive in Greater Paris — while clinical services are reimbursed under standard French public-insurance tariffs. Distribution is fully direct: services reach individual/family end-users via walk-in centers, physician and social-worker referrals, home-visit deployment, and a small recruitment and donor-conversion marketing layer (social channels, newsletter, TF1 earned media coverage).

The foundation's situation is materially shaped by recent corporate events: a redressement judiciaire was opened on November 5, 2024, and on April 14, 2025 judicial administrators announced a plan to sell all activities; despite this the foundation continues to operate, and parallel defensive moves include the December 2024 takeover of EHPAD Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (170 rooms), the January 2025 opening of an internal Pharmacy (PUI) in Bagnolet, HAS V2020 certification of the mother-child hospital, and the renewal of its regional HAD authorization by ARS Île-de-France.
