Hôpitaux de Grand Cognac

What Hôpitaux de Grand Cognac does

Hôpitaux de Grand Cognac is a French public hospital establishment (Établissement public de santé) operating five sites across the Grand Cognac territory in the Charente department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Its main site is at 65 avenue d'Angoulême in Châteaubernard, supplemented by Résidence Guy Gautier (EHPAD), Résidence Montesquieu, the Résidence Médico-Sociale de Jarnac (housing MAS, UPHV, and UHR units), and a hospital site in Châteauneuf-sur-Charente (with USLD and palliative care). The entity is led by Directeur Bruno BONNAIN and is governed under the French public healthcare system, with oversight from the Ministry of Health and ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

The service portfolio spans acute care (a 24/7 emergency department with SMUR and UHTCD, a maternity ward that recorded 613 births in 2025, medical imaging including MRI, an in-house laboratory, and 29 medical and surgical specialties such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, ophthalmology, and urology), long-term and medico-social care (EHPAD, MAS, USLD, UHR, UPHV), and preventive health services (CeGIDD screening, nutrition and tabacology consultations, mobile geriatric and palliative care teams, the Plateforme des Aidants caregiver support, and PASS). Quality is anchored by a Haute Autorité de Santé certification of 94.16% awarded in February 2023, ISO 9001:2015 certification for the sterile medication preparation unit obtained in July 2024, the IHAB baby-friendly charter, and the ARS 'Prévenir pour bien grandir' maternity label awarded in 2025.

The revenue model is that of a public hospital funded through the French national health insurance system (Sécurité Sociale), complementary health insurers, and patient co-payments, with services delivered directly at the five sites via consultations, hospitalizations, emergency admissions, and medico-social accommodations. Go-to-market is patient-direct: the hospital is accessed through emergency services (15/SAMU), scheduled appointments via phone (05 45 80 15 15) and the official website (ch-cognac.fr), referrals, and community health events. There is no commercial sales motion; growth signals come from service-line expansion (e.g., recruitment of Dr. Gilles Kehoua for SMR in 2026) and quality/certification progression rather than market capture.
