EthiCare Santé

What EthiCare Santé does

EthiCare Santé (legal entity: SCOP ARL EthiCare) is a French worker cooperative founded in 1994, headquartered in Pélissanne, with a team of approximately 12 employees. The company operates as an independent audit, consulting, and training firm dedicated to the French healthcare sector, serving healthcare establishments (hospitals, clinics, oncology centers, surgical centers), medico-social organizations (EHPAD/nursing homes), individual healthcare professionals (nurses, cardiologists, IPA advanced practice nurses, psychologists), and territorial health ecosystem bodies (CPTS, territorial platforms). The company has built over 30 years of sector-specific expertise and structures its operations around two core divisions: EthiCare Conseil, which provides strategic and operational consulting across strategy, organization, digital health, and care pathway transformation; and EthiCare Académie, which delivers continuing professional education, an entrepreneurial school, and VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience) accompaniment services.

EthiCare's product portfolio is built on a Wix.com-hosted website and comprises a mix of professional services and digital content tools rather than proprietary software. Notable products include the PARTAG'IC collection of co-developed therapeutic education tools (e.g., the 'Cœur de l'Oie' board game, patient guide 'Je Me Connais Par Cœur', coordination checklists), the Cardio'link territorial coordination platform for cardiology professionals, a podcast series featuring expert interviews, and an extensive publications library covering topics such as heart failure care pathways, IPA/cardiologist collaboration models, and cardio-geriatric care. The company also organizes themed competitions (Trophées Outil'IC, Trophée ParticIPAtif) to build community engagement.

EthiCare generates revenue through professional services engagements — project-based consulting assignments billed to healthcare clients and training programs delivered through its Académie division. The only publicly disclosed price is €2,000 for 21 hours of individual VAE accompaniment; collective VAE and consulting day rates are quoted on request. Distribution is purely direct-to-client via the website, phone, and email, with no third-party channels or reseller network. The company is led by Delphine DUPE as Gérant (Managing Director) and is governed as a SCOP, meaning it is owned and controlled by its employee-members rather than external investors, with a registered share capital of €3,000 and no venture capital or private equity involvement.
