Cholet Hospital Center

What Cholet Hospital Center does

Cholet Hospital Center (Centre Hospitalier de Cholet) is a French public health establishment (établissement public de santé) founded on May 4, 1977, headquartered at 1 Rue Marengo, Cholet, and owned by the French State under the supervision of ARS Pays de la Loire. The hospital operates five sites spanning the Cholet metropolitan area and Beaupr\u00e9au, delivering a full continuum of acute, chronic, and ambulatory care to a catchment population of more than 250,000 inhabitants across the Maine-et-Loire, Vend\u00e9e, Nord Deux-S\u00e8vres, and Loire-Atlantique departments. Core service lines include a Level 2b maternity (Pavillon Femmes Parents Enfants, 2,148 births in 2024), general medicine and surgery, a hybrid operating theater, ICU, dialysis, mental health (adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, addictology), medical rehabilitation (SMR), two EHPAD/USLD residences (Les Cordeliers with 80 beds, Chanterivière with 70 places), and a technical platform of imaging, COFRAC ISO 15189-accredited laboratory, and hospital pharmacy.

The hospital's technology stack is anchored by the national MSSanté secure-messaging system, Doctolib-driven online appointment booking, MesAnalyses and One Manager patient portals for laboratory and imaging results, PayFIP for online bill payment, and QualiScope and e-Satis for public quality and satisfaction reporting. In April 2026, AI-assisted diagnostic imaging tools were deployed in radiology with ARS Ségur numérique funding. Supporting infrastructure includes a Clinical Research Unit (affiliated with CHU d'Angers DRCI) running 100 open studies across 17 services with 620 inclusions in 2024, and a Qualiopi-certified Institut de Formation des Professionnels de Santé (IFPS) graduating nurses and aides-soignants.

Revenue is generated principally through Assurance Maladie reimbursement under French national tariff rules (CCAM, GHS), supplemented by patient co-payments, complementary insurance (mutuelle), ARS multi-year CPOM allocations, ARS investment funding (FMIS), and philanthropic donations channeled through the Mécènes Cholet Hôpital endowment fund (115 patrons, 30 projects since 2018). The hospital does not publish revenue; pricing is regulated, including a \u20ac23/day daily hospital forfait, a \u20ac32 patient contribution for acts \u2265\u20ac120, and \u20ac35/\u20ac25 for initial/follow-up dietetics consultations.
