Medicina

What Medicina does

Medicina (legal entity MEDICINA SANTÉ, SAS) is a French operator of multidisciplinary health centers founded in 2019 by Dr. Luc Fontaine. The company leases furnished medical offices (12–30 m²) to approximately 100 independent medical and paramedical practitioners across two physical sites — Medicina Lyon Rockefeller (8th arrondissement of Lyon, opened 2019) and Medicina Bordeaux Dunant (Belvédère quarter of Bordeaux, opened 2026). Each center co-locates practitioners across roughly 30 specialties, supported by centralized reception, shared waiting and meeting rooms, 7/7 badge access, and proximity to major hospital institutions (Hospices Civils de Lyon, Centre Léon Bérard, Centre Hospitalier Le Vinatier in Lyon).

The company's product surface comprises four revenue streams: (1) medical office rentals (subscription, annual cadence), the primary stream; (2) coworking and private office rentals for non-medical entrepreneurs (subscription, monthly cadence); (3) Balicina, an integrated balneotherapy, spa, and adapted physical activity wellness center; and (4) Educina, a continuing-education platform for healthcare professionals. The underlying technical stack is minimal — the website uses Google Analytics for traffic measurement, and "télésanté" (telemedicine) is referenced as part of the innovation strategy but no proprietary technology architecture is disclosed. No mobile app, API, or formal AI capabilities are documented.

Medicina's go-to-market combines direct outreach (phone, email, on-site visits) to healthcare practitioners seeking to establish or relocate their liberal practice with inbound contact forms on the website. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity; growth has been funded internally through operating cash flow. All activity is regional, limited to France, with no international footprint. The company's strategic positioning targets structural gaps in French proximity healthcare — fragmentation between primary and secondary care, administrative burden on independent practitioners, and the absence of integrated prevention/wellness services alongside curative treatment.

Revenue model

1. Medical Office Rental (Cabinets médicaux): Medicina leases furnished medical cabinets (12–30 m²) to liberal healthcare practitioners on a full-time or flexible (shared/flex) basis. This is the primary revenue stream, with rental income from approximately 100 practitioners across two centers. Cabinets come with inclusive services (reception staff, shared waiting rooms, meeting rooms, 7/7 badge access).
2. Coworking and Private Office Rental: Flexible coworking desks and private offices (10–30 m²) are available to entrepreneurs, independent workers, and small businesses in the healthcare and wellness sector. This complements the medical office rental and extends the tenant base to non-medical professionals who benefit from the wellness amenities.
3. Balicina Wellness Services: Revenue generated from balneotherapy, spa, coaching, and adapted physical activity services provided by Balicina within the Medicina facilities. These services are accessible to both tenants' patients and external clients.
4. Professional Training (Educina): Educina is Medicina's professional training platform for healthcare workers. Revenue is generated from training fees charged to healthcare professionals who attend as trainees or who serve as trainers/intervenants within the Medicina facilities.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered minor and core.

• Centre Léon BérardminorOthersMedicina Lyon Rockefeller is located in proximity to the Centre Léon Bérard (a major regional cancer center). The proximity enables referral pathways and coordination between the two facilities, though the nature of the relationship is geographic rather than formal.
• Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL)minorOthersMedicina Lyon Rockefeller is located near the Hospices Civils de Lyon. The center states its commitment to fluidifying links between liberal practitioners and hospital-based professionals, though no formal partnership agreement is documented.
• Centre Hospitalier Le VinatierminorOthersMedicina Lyon Rockefeller is situated near the Centre Hospitalier Le Vinatier (psychiatric and general hospital). Geographic proximity enables referral pathways between community-based and hospital-based care.
• Research LaboratoriescoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMedicina explicitly collaborates with research laboratories as part of its public health mission, linking preventive and curative care, particularly for chronic disease management. This partnership supports the organization's innovation and research agenda.
• Territorial Health Devices (Dispositifs territoriaux de santé)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMedicina cooperates with territorial health devices and structures (including CPTS — Communautés Professionnelles Territoriales de Santé) as part of its mission to modernize proximity healthcare and complement existing local health services.

Others

• IWG (Regus): IWG operates the global Regus and Spaces flexible-workspace brands, including health-oriented coworking. Medicina's coworking offering competes in the same flexible-workspace category for self-employed professionals, though IWG does not specialize in healthcare-specific environments.

Broad incumbents

• Vivalto Santé: Vivalto Santé is a French private hospital and ambulatory care operator with a network of clinics across the country. It competes for the same multidisciplinary outpatient care market that Medicina targets, but with a broader portfolio including inpatient services.
• Elsan: Elsan is a leading French private healthcare group operating hospitals and clinics across France with a growing footprint in ambulatory and outpatient services. It overlaps with Medicina on the medical office and ambulatory care real estate axis but as a much larger incumbent rather than a niche liberal-practice landlord.
• Almaviva Santé: Almaviva Santé is a French private healthcare group running clinics and ambulatory facilities across southern and central France. It serves as a broad incumbent peer in the multidisciplinary outpatient and ambulatory services segment where Medicina competes.
• Ramsay Santé: Ramsay Santé is France's largest private hospital and ambulatory care group, operating facilities across the country including multidisciplinary outpatient centers. It is a broad incumbent in the same healthcare real estate and ambulatory services space as Medicina, though at vastly greater scale and with hospital infrastructure included.

Direct peers

• Medipôle Lyon-Villeurbanne: Medipôle is a large multidisciplinary health facility in the Lyon metropolitan area, combining private hospital care, outpatient consultations, and medical office space for liberal practitioners. It is the most directly comparable French operator to Medicina's Lyon model, occupying the same city and addressing the same fragmented-care problem.

Emerging players

• Doctolib: Doctolib is France's dominant healthcare booking and teleconsultation platform serving both patients and liberal practitioners. While not a real estate operator, it intersects with Medicina's telemedicine strategy and practitioner-side value proposition, and could either integrate with or disintermediate parts of Medicina's offering.

Regional players

• Hexagone Santé Méditerranée: Hexagone Santé is a French operator of multidisciplinary health centers in southern France, offering medical office rentals and coordination services to liberal practitioners. It is comparable to Medicina as a regional health real estate specialist, though concentrated in a different geography.
