• Hôpital intercommunal de la presqu'île Guérande - Le Croisic: Intercommunal public hospital also bound by the same 'direction commune' governance since 2021.

• Centre Hospitalier de Savenay: Public general hospital sharing a 'direction commune' with Centre Hospitalier de Saint-Nazaire since May 2021. Operates as a coordinated acute-care and geriatrics provider on the same Loire-Atlantique territory, with overlapping service lines.
