Association À Vos Soins

What Association À Vos Soins does

Association À Vos Soins is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded on 21 February 2014 in Saint-Nazaire, Pays de la Loire, with the stated mission of reducing inequalities in healthcare access for populations in priority urban neighborhoods (QPV) and rural medical-deserved territories. The organization operates a portfolio of interconnected programs under three pillars: universal access to care, generalized third-party payment (tiers-payant), and preventive health education. Its core delivery infrastructure combines a fixed multidisciplinary health center (Centre de santé polyvalent) in Saint-Nazaire's Petit Caporal neighborhood with the MarSOINS mobile prevention fleet — six converted trucks deployed across the Grand Ouest region (Saint-Nazaire, Redon, Sud Finistère, Châteaubriant-Derval, La Roche-sur-Yon, Pontivy), supplemented by a 100% electric mobile health unit (La Région À Vos Soins) launched in Sarthe in November 2025.

The association's product surface extends beyond direct care to include L'Arbre aux Sens (a therapeutic participatory garden for isolated seniors), La Valise à Sons (360° binaural sound therapy for cognitive stimulation), La Lettre à la Mer (anonymous letter-based outreach to identify vulnerable individuals), Mars Impact (a digital data-collection and impact-evaluation application offered to peer structures), and the Collectif Aller-Vers en santé (a national federation of 12+ mobile health units). Technology assets are primarily physical (specialized mobile units built by Toutenkamion Group), with the Mars Impact application being the principal digital component.

The business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than commercial: the organization is financed through the European Social Fund (€1,218,251.31 committed for 2025-2027 against a €2,030,418.85 total operation), regional and departmental public financing (Région Pays de la Loire, ARS, CNSA), multiple private foundations (Malakoff Humanis, Mutualia Grand Ouest, Klésia, Fondation MNH, Fondation Optic 2000, Fondation Solidarité Grand Ouest, Secours Catholique), and individual donations processed via HelloAsso. Annual budget is approximately €2.3M, supporting 34 salaried employees and a network of approximately 300 active volunteers. All services are free at the point of delivery, with consultations at the health center reimbursed through French social security via generalized third-party payment.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Samusocial de Paris: Municipal structure running mobile health-outreach teams to homeless and excluded populations in Paris — directly comparable mobile outreach and healthcare-for-vulnerable-populations model, but geographically restricted to Île-de-France.

Others

• AIDES: Major French community-health NGO focused on HIV/hepatitis prevention and outreach to key populations using mobile units and community workers — comparable outreach methodology and community-health-promotion approach.
• ATD Quart Monde: Movement and association fighting extreme poverty and social exclusion in France, with programmes on health access for the most disadvantaged — adjacent in mission (poverty-health intersection) and community-based methodology.
• Habitats et Humanisme: French association providing housing and social support to vulnerable people, including seniors and people in precarious situations — adjacent ecosystem participant addressing social determinants that drive healthcare exclusion in priority neighbourhoods.
• France Assos Santé: National federation representing patient and health-association users in France — comparable as an ecosystem aggregator and policy voice in healthcare access, though oriented around advocacy rather than direct service delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Groupe SOS: Large French social-impact operator with extensive health, prevention, and social-inclusion programmes including primary care and outreach for vulnerable groups — broader portfolio but overlapping on health-access-for-underserved missions.
• Croix-Rouge française: France-wide humanitarian organisation running mobile health and social outreach services (e.g., Croix-Rouge chez vous, dispositifs d'aller-vers) targeting vulnerable people; much larger scale and broader mandate but overlaps directly on mobile prevention and care for excluded populations.

Direct peers

• Les Petits Frères des Pauvres: French non-profit supporting isolated and ageing elderly through community visits, wellness workshops, and care coordination — directly comparable to À Vos Soins' L'Arbre aux Sens therapeutic garden and La Valise à Sons work on senior isolation.
• Médecins du Monde: French NGO that operates mobile clinics (Caso, Mission France) and 'aller-vers' outreach programmes delivering free preventive and curative care to people in precarious situations across France — the closest analogue to À Vos Soins' mobile-prevention model for underserved populations.

Emerging players

• Médecins Solidaires: French non-profit deploying temporary doctor teams to medical-desert areas — a more recent 'aller-vers' initiative tackling rural healthcare access with a different (volunteer-physician) model but overlapping target populations and geography.
