Romans Ferrari

What Romans Ferrari does

Romans Ferrari is a French non-profit pediatric medical rehabilitation center (association loi 1901) headquartered in Miribel, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, founded in 1921 and operating continuously for over a century. It delivers highly specialized rehabilitation care to children suffering from severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, polytrauma, and related conditions, and operates three coordinated facilities: the Centre Médicalisé de Rééducation Pédiatrique (CMRP) inpatient unit with 87 pediatric beds, the Foyer d'Accueil Médicalisé (FAM) adult residential facility with 42 places, and the SMAEC mobile service that delivers home- and community-based follow-up care across the region.

The organization's core product is multidisciplinary rehabilitation therapy — physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychological support, schooling reintegration, and a distinctive pediatric pain-management program based on hypnoanalgesia (with 30 staff trained in the technique). Underlying technology includes an in-house 3D-printing lab for custom prosthetics and orthotics, telepresence robots used to maintain schooling continuity for long-stay patients, and formal research collaborations with INSA Lyon, École Centrale de Lyon, and Petzl. The asset base is a 42-employee clinical and support workforce operating from a single consolidated campus in Miribel.

The business model is that of an authorized French SSR (Soins de Suite et de Réadaptation) provider funded primarily by the French Social Security system under tariffs set by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Regional Health Agency (ARS). Patient intake is driven by referrals routed through the national Via-Trajectoire platform from acute-care hospitals. As a non-profit, surpluses are reinvested in clinical capacity, equipment, and research partnerships rather than distributed; there is no equity, funding-round, or M&A dynamic in the conventional PE/VC sense.
