Centre Hospitalier de Haute Corrèze

What Centre Hospitalier de Haute Corrèze does

Centre Hospitalier de Haute-Corrèze is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé) headquartered at 2 avenue du Docteur Roullet, 19200 Ussel, in the Corrèze department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Founded in 1983 and employing 501–1,000 staff, it serves as the primary healthcare facility for the Haute-Corrèze territory, providing comprehensive acute care including 24/7 emergency services (SAU/SMUR/USCP/UHCD), orthopedic and visceral surgery, cardiology, maternity-gynecology (6 gynecology + 6 obstetric beds), general medicine (45 beds across two units), ambulatory surgery with 13 beds and 12 chemotherapy chairs, anesthesia with 3 operating rooms performing approximately 3,500 anesthetics annually, medical imaging (radiology, ultrasound, scanner, mobile MRI), an in-house pharmacy and sterilization unit, and social services. The hospital also operates the EHPAD Résidence Les Ecureuils, a 153-place elderly care residence (111 EHPAD, 30 SMTI, 5 temporary, 7 day care) co-located on the Ussel site, with specialized memory care and a multidisciplinary team.

The institution operates under the French public healthcare reimbursement system (Sécurité Sociale), with revenue regulated through government-set daily rates (forfait journalier), ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine oversight, and annually determined EHPAD tariffs from the Conseil Départemental de la Corrèze. Pricing for patient-borne charges includes private room supplements, accompanist beds (€17/night), and accompanying person meals (€7.90), all publicly disclosed. The hospital coordinates with other Corrèze facilities (Brive, Tulle, Bort les Orgues) through a Direction Commune governance structure, and partners with ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine, CPAM de la Corrèze, PTA 19 territorial support platform, HAS quality authority, and local entities such as Maison de Santé Usselloise.

Its value proposition centers on serving as the sole comprehensive care provider for a rural French territory, offering specialized services rarely found in facilities of its size — including CeGIDD (free STI screening), CPEF (family planning), ELSA (addiction liaison), PASS (healthcare access for the uninsured), UPSAV (home prevention), and a memory clinic — alongside traditional hospital departments. Operating under the fonction publique hospitalière, the hospital is state-owned and directed by Christophe MINVIELLE, with no private equity, venture, or commercial ownership involvement.
