CDHS

What CDHS does

CDHS (Comité Départemental d'Hygiène Sociale) is a French non-profit association founded in 1916 under the Law of 1901 and recognized as being of public utility. Headquartered in Lyon, it is dedicated to fighting tuberculosis and respiratory diseases in the Rhône department and has expanded its mandate over more than a century into broader respiratory care, elderly long-term care, and smoking cessation. The organization operates as a single integrated healthcare delivery network rather than a software or platform business, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities and a technology stack described as standard healthcare facility equipment for respiratory care.

The organization's service portfolio spans two main facility types. The Centres de Santé et de Prévention form a network of 7 health and prevention centers across the Lyon metropolitan area (Lyon 7, Villeurbanne, Vaulx-en-Velin, Vénissieux, Givors, Villefranche-sur-Saône) and a coordination service (CLAT 69) for tuberculosis control, delivering free pneumology consultations, TB screening, BCG vaccination, and smoking cessation support. The Centre Médical Bayère in Gleizé operates as a specialized medical rehabilitation facility with 38 SSR beds (35 single, 3 double), 33 USLD long-term care beds for elderly patients over 60 with severe chronic conditions, and a day hospitalization unit launched in January 2020 for chronic respiratory and post-COVID patients. Clinical capabilities include respiratory rehabilitation with exercise training and therapeutic education, oxygen therapy (liquid, gaseous, ambulatory, and non-invasive ventilation), and respiratory function testing (polygraphy, nocturnal oximetry, exercise tests).

CDHS generates revenue primarily through the French social security system. Hospitalization costs are covered 80% by CPAM (100% for patients with ALD long-term illness status), with patients paying a daily accommodation fee (€20), co-payment, and optional private room supplement (€45/day). Pneumology consultations, TB screening, and vaccination are free for all patients including uninsured individuals, funded through public health system reimbursement and subsidies. The organization has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no parent company; it is governed independently as a non-profit, with strategic affiliations to FEHAP, Réseau SPIRO, and FFAIR. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Clariane (formerly Korian): Leading European operator of long-term care, specialty care, and assisted living facilities across multiple countries. Comparable as a large-scale provider of USLD-equivalent long-term residential care and chronic disease management in France, operating at materially greater scale and capital base than CDHS.
• Air Liquide Healthcare: Global industrial-scale provider of home oxygen therapy, ventilation services, and chronic respiratory disease management across France and Europe. Comparable service lines (oxygen therapy, ventilation, home-based respiratory care) to CDHS at dramatically larger scale, with overlapping reimbursement channels via CPAM.

Direct peers

• Fondation du Souffle: French non-profit foundation dedicated to fighting respiratory diseases through research, prevention, and patient advocacy. Comparable as a French non-profit respiratory health organization sharing CDHS's mission focus on lung health awareness, prevention, and chronic respiratory disease management.

Regional players

• Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL): Largest public hospital system in the Lyon metropolitan area (CHU de Lyon), running a full respiratory medicine department across multiple sites. Comparable as a major regional healthcare delivery counterparty operating in the same geography with overlapping specialty respiratory services, including referrals into CDHS via the SPIRO care network.

Others

• SOS Médecins France: French nationwide network of physicians providing scheduled and urgent outpatient clinic and home visits. Comparable direct-to-patient, appointment-based outpatient service model operating in France, sharing CDHS's channel of physician referral, although generalist rather than respiratory-focused.
• FEHAP: French federation representing private non-profit healthcare establishments (Loi 1901 associations, mutuals, foundations). Comparable as the governance and policy umbrella for CDHS itself, sharing the public-utility non-profit mission and providing benchmarking across similar respiratory and chronic care associations.
