Solidarité Santé 63

What Solidarité Santé 63 does

Solidarité Santé 63 is a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901) founded in 2004 by Docteur Paul SUSS in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The organization provides free primary healthcare, specialized consultations, dental care, nursing, psychological evaluation, and social accompaniment to people in situations of great precariousness and medico-social exclusion who face barriers accessing the mainstream French healthcare system—particularly residents of the Saint-Jacques Priority Urban Renewal Zone (QPV). It operates two integrated service lines: the fixed Centre de Santé Paul Suss, which delivers walk-in and appointment-based general medicine plus specialty consultations (pediatrics, ophthalmology, gynecology, pneumology, ENT, cardiology) and dental surgery; and the Equipe Mobile Santé Précarité (EMSP), established in 2022 under ARS impulsion, which conducts 'aller vers' outreach—street patrols and regular permanences at partner social structures—across Clermont-Ferrand and its agglomeration (Royat, Cébazat, Cournon d'Auvergne, Riom). In 2024 the Health Center served 3,468 patients (1,795 new) and EMSP served 477 patients (211 new), executing 23,558 total medical and social acts and traveling 19,600 km for outreach.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no digital product surface; it operates as a traditional medico-social service provider with offline clinical workflows and a LinkedIn/partner-referral marketing footprint. Its revenue model is entirely grant-funded: no fees are charged to patients. Funding sources include ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (FIR financing since 2011 alongside the health-center accreditation), Conseil Départemental du Puy-de-Dôme, DDETS, CPAM du Puy-de-Dôme, CTAI, the City of Clermont-Ferrand, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and since 1 June 2024 the European Union via the FSE+ for a dedicated health mediation professional. The go-to-market is community-led: 'aller vers' outreach, partner referrals from a network of more than 35 institutional and associative partners (including CHU de Clermont-Ferrand, AHSM, Adoma, Fondation de France, Restos du Cœur, Emmaüs, Forum Réfugiés, OFII, SPIP, PJJ), and walk-in access at the health center.

The workforce combines approximately 20 salaried professionals with 23 volunteers, of whom 20 are physicians—a hybrid model that mixes paid multidisciplinary expertise (general practitioners, specialists, dental surgeon, nurses, psychologist, social worker, administrative staff) with volunteer medical capacity. The organization is actively recruiting in 2025–2026 (a 0.80 ETP salaried general practitioner, CDI, start by 6 April 2026) to sustain activity and develop new health projects. Founder Docteur Paul SUSS remains associated with the organization, which continues to operate autonomously with no parent entity, no private-equity involvement, and no public listing.

Core offering

Solidarité Santé 63 delivers free primary and specialized healthcare, dental care, nursing care, psychological evaluations, and social accompaniment to people in situations of great precariousness and social exclusion in Clermont-Ferrand. Services are delivered through two channels: the fixed Centre de Santé Paul Suss for walk-in and appointment-based consultations, and the Equipe Mobile Santé Précarité (EMSP) for outreach actions including street patrols, health mediation, and medico-social evaluations directly at patients' living locations.

Product overview

Solidarité Santé 63 operates as a unified healthcare and social support organization consisting of two integrated offerings: the Centre de Santé Paul Suss serves as the main fixed facility offering comprehensive medical consultations (general medicine, specialized medicine including pediatrics, ophthalmology, gynecology, pneumology, ENT, and cardiology, plus dental surgery), nursing care, prevention, screening, and social accompaniment services. The Equipe Mobile Santé Précarité (EMSP) complements this by conducting outreach actions—maraudes, health mediation, and medico-social evaluations—directly at the living locations of vulnerable populations, providing continuity and accessibility for those unable to reach the fixed center. Both offerings operate under the same associative structure, sharing resources and coordinating patient pathways to deliver a holistic medico-social approach.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Fondation Abbé Pierre: Major French foundation addressing housing insecurity and homelessness, coordinating social and rights-based support for excluded populations. Adjacent rather than direct: complementary ecosystem partner serving overlapping demographics without delivering clinical care itself.
• ATD Quart Monde: International movement combating extreme poverty and promoting access to fundamental rights including health for the most excluded populations in France. Comparable target population and rights-based accompaniment ethos, though its scope extends well beyond healthcare delivery.

Direct peers

• Samu Social de Paris: Paris-based mobile health and social outreach teams providing medical care, nursing, and social accompaniment to homeless and precarious populations on the streets and in partner shelters. Comparable in mission, mobile delivery model, and multidisciplinary health-plus-social approach.
• Le Bus Social Dentaire: A French non-profit operating mobile dental units to provide free oral care to homeless, precarious, and uninsured populations across multiple French cities. Directly comparable in mobile outreach delivery, target population, and free-care model.
• Médecins du Monde: Doctors of the World operates fixed and mobile healthcare facilities across France delivering free care to uninsured, migrant, and excluded populations. Its 'aller vers' outreach model and reliance on volunteer + salaried clinicians are closely aligned with Solidarité Santé 63's Centre de Santé Paul Suss and EMSP structure.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge française: The French Red Cross runs a national network of health centers, mobile units, and social support services for vulnerable populations, including refugees and people in precarious situations. Much larger and broader in scope, but offers overlapping primary care, mobile outreach, and health mediation services to similar demographics.
• Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF France): MSF operates domestic programs in France providing free healthcare to migrants, asylum seekers, and excluded populations through mobile clinics and dedicated centers. Significantly larger and more international, but shares the humanitarian medical mission and volunteer-heavy clinical model.
