What FNEHAD · Fédération de l'Hospitalisation à Domicile does

FNEHAD (Fédération Nationale des Établissements d'Hospitalisation à Domicile) is the French national federation dedicated exclusively to home hospitalization (HAD), founded in 1973 and headquartered in Paris. It is a non-profit professional association representing more than 260 HAD establishments across metropolitan and overseas France, spanning public, private non-profit, and private for-profit providers. Member establishments account for over 92% of home hospitalization days delivered in France, serving more than 200,000 patients and 8 million days of care in 2025. As of June 2026, Marguerite CAZENEUVE leads the federation with a stated ambition to double HAD activity within five years.

The federation's core activities center on sector advocacy, professional training, and standards development rather than proprietary technology products. Its service portfolio includes an annual training catalogue (69 sessions and 981 trainees between June 2025 and June 2026, up 8% year-over-year, with 7 new sessions added for 2027), the Summer and Winter Universities conferences (the 2026 Summer Universities in Marseille drew over 600 attendees, up from 110 in 2006), publications and activity reports, a private member portal (Espace Adhérents), a public-facing HAD facility locator, and a recruitment job board for member establishments. It also operates a Conseil fédéral installed in September 2024 that brings together FHF, FHP, FEHAP, Unicancer, and UNPS.

FNEHAD operates a membership-based revenue model, charging fees to its 260+ member establishments and monetizing ancillary services such as training and conferences. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, engaging with government bodies (DGOS, DGCS), regulatory agencies, and allied professional unions (FNI/Sniil for liberal nurses; physiotherapist federations) through formal protocols, framework conventions, and joint initiatives such as the Observatoire des aidants caregiver-support project under the 2026-2030 action plan.
