ARS Normandie

What ARS Normandie does

ARS Normandie (Agence régionale de santé Normandie) is a public government agency (établissement public administratif) created in 2010 under the French HPST law, operating under the authority of the Ministère des Solidarités et de la Santé. It is the sole state authority responsible for coordinating, regulating, and funding healthcare across the five departments of Normandy (Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne, Seine-Maritime). The agency serves a regional ecosystem comprising 11 Hospital Territorial Groups (GHTs), 56 public health establishments, 11 public medico-social establishments, liberal and hospital-based health professionals, local elected officials, and approximately 3.3 million residents of Normandy. Its services are delivered free of charge with no commercial pricing.

The agency operates from a regional headquarters in Caen and five departmental delegations, employing approximately 400 staff drawn from the state civil service and Assurance Maladie. Its core product portfolio includes the institutional website (normandie.ars.sante.fr), the C@rtoSanté Normandie cartographic tool, integration with the national Mon Espace Santé personal health record platform, online reporting portals, a quarterly newsletter, and the regional e-Santé strategy structured around five pillars (digital uses, access to care, digital security, digital patient, and future digital health). It coordinates a 455 million euro Ségur de la Santé investment plan (2021-2030, jointly with Région Normandie), the 2023-2028 Projet régional de santé, an 8-field ecological transition program with 7 CTEES advisors serving 127 establishments, an 89-objective 10-year cancer strategy, the Service Sanitaire des Étudiants en Santé (SSES) deploying ~2,600 health students annually, and the Culture Santé program supporting ~80 artistic projects per year.

The business model is entirely publicly funded: ARS Normandie receives state allocations, Assurance Maladie contributions, and manages the Fonds d'Intervention Régional (FIR) as a regional financial lever. Revenue is not commercially disclosed. The agency's go-to-market is direct-to-institution, operating through the five departmental delegations, contractual arrangements (Contrats Locaux de Santé, Contrats Territoriaux de Santé Mentale), and digital platforms. Its distribution is structurally tied to its statutory mandate and therefore faces no market-based competition within the Normandy region.
