Santélys BFC

What Santélys BFC does

Santélys BFC (Santélys Bourgogne – Franche-Comté) is a non-profit healthcare association (association déclarée) established in 2014 as the second MRC (Maladie Rénale Chronique) establishment of the Groupe associatif Santélys, which has operated for over 120 years. The association delivers integrated home healthcare and proximity care across the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region and the Ain department, with 19 dialysis units, multiple health centers, and a home care operation employing 300 collaborators and treating more than 1,000 patients annually. Its core service lines are a chronic kidney disease pathway (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, home dialysis, kidney transplant support, conservative treatment) and a diabetes pathway centered on insulin pump therapy, supplemented by teleconsultation and remote monitoring via the E-Santélys digital platform developed at group level.

The organization's revenue is generated through French Social Security reimbursement under the ALD (Affectation Longue Durée) framework, under which chronic kidney disease treatment is reimbursed at 100%. Go-to-market is sales-led via medical referrals from partner nephrologists, endocrinologists, and hospitals; the organization does not sell to consumers directly but receives patients through coordinated care pathways. Cross-cutting capabilities include therapeutic patient education (ETP), the ISEFORM Santé professional training subsidiary, the REEVI research and innovation department, the DOM'Lab home-based experimentation laboratory for testing AI and digital health innovations, and the Maison Sport-Santé facility for Adapted Physical Activity prescription.

Santélys BFC holds the highest-tier HAS certification ('Haute qualité des soins', 97% conformity), QUALIPSAD, ISO 9001, and Qualiopi accreditations, anchoring its quality positioning in the French healthcare regulatory landscape. It is governed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent Santélys group, with Pierre Fontaine as President of Santélys Association and Anne Martello leading group communications.
