Saint John of God Foundation

What Saint John of God Foundation does

The Fondation Saint Jean de Dieu is a French non-profit public utility foundation, headquartered at 173 rue de la Croix Nivert, 75015 Paris, recognized as 'd'utilité publique' since 2012 and affiliated with the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God. It operates a coordinated network of more than 40 healthcare, medico-social, and social establishments across three French territories (Ile-de-France, Grand Ouest, Sud-Est), employing approximately 2,000–2,100 collaborators and serving more than 20,000 people annually with a capacity of roughly 2,100 beds and places. Service lines span EHPAD elderly care, psychiatric hospitals (Centre Hospitalier Dinan/Saint-Brieuc across 23 sites), a private surgery/oncology clinic (Clinique Saint Jean de Dieu Paris), disability establishments (Lecourbe, Le Croisic, Les Romans/La Tremblaye, Saint-Raphaël, Sainte-Germaine, Saint-Martin des Douëts), social emergency shelters (Centre Forbin, Marseille), rehabilitation (Les Récollets), and a Qualiopi-certified training institute (IFSJD).

The foundation's revenue is derived primarily from reimbursement by the French Sécurité Sociale, departmental social aid, and complementary insurance for healthcare and medico-social services, supplemented by individual donations (including IFI), legacy bequests, corporate mécénat, and fees from professional training. Operations are decentralized through wholly-owned territorial establishments but governed centrally by a Board chaired by Philippe Girard, with Pascal Duperray as Director General and Frère Paul-Marie Taufana as Vice-President representing the Hospitaller Order. The portfolio has grown through affiliation-style integrations of aligned associations (Sacré-Cœur 2022, Benoît Menni 2023, Saint-Martin des Douëts and Centre du Lattay 2024, Bon Pasteur 2026) rather than conventional M&A, and is supported by certifications including LUCIE 26000 (RSE, 2026), Qualiopi (training, 2023), Label Humanitude (2022), and a 94/100 gender equality index score (2025).
