Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Fréjus St Raphaël

What Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Fréjus St Raphaël does

Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Fréjus Saint-Raphaël (CHIFSR) is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé) founded in 1972, headquartered at 240 avenue de St-Lambert in Fréjus, Var, southeastern France. It serves as the principal public hospital for the Var Est territory, providing a full continuum of multi-specialty acute, surgical, and chronic care organized across eight clinical poles: Surgery (Pôle Interventionnel), Medicine (Pôle Médecine), Oncology (Pôle Oncologie), Emergency and Resuscitation (Pôle Urgences Réanimation), Geriatrics (Pôle Gérontologie), Psychiatry (Pôle Psychiatrie), Woman Mother Child (Pôle Femme Mère Enfant), and Transversal Medical Activities (AMT). It operates with 1,001–5,000 staff and reports 2025 throughput of 1,074 births, 51,891 emergency visits, 17,862 full hospitalizations, and 110,523 outpatient consultations annually.

CHIFSR's service infrastructure combines conventional clinical departments with specialized units including a two-camera nuclear medicine department (scintigraphy with CT), an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (RAAC) coordination program covering colorectal, joint replacement, bariatric, and gynecological surgery, Drugcam-secured chemotherapy preparation, and a Qualiopi-certified in-house continuing education faculty spending over €1M annually. The hospital is upgrading its surgical platform with a Da Vinci X Single Console robotic system targeted for installation by end of 2026 (financed in part via a citizen loan), and is constructing @dosphère, an adolescent pedopsychiatry facility funded through the DonAdo Coeur €5M crowdfunding campaign launched in December 2024. Patient-facing digital channels include Doctolib appointment booking, PayFIP government online bill payment, and an online imaging results portal, alongside free hospital-wide WiFi since November 2023.

As an établissement public de santé, CHIFSR is funded primarily through the French national health insurance system (Assurance Maladie) with supplementary mutuelles and patient co-payments, supplemented by public budgets and citizen fundraising campaigns (previous DonAdo campaign raised €118,245 in 2022–2023 for Drugcam equipment). The hospital holds multiple certifications: HAS 'qualité des soins confirmée' at 97.73% (2023), THQSE Gold at 92% for the entire establishment (August 2024, first in France under the new standards), renewed GRACE RAAC labeling (2025 across three surgical specialties), and Qualiopi for training. Recent corporate actions include the February 2025 announced closure of EHPAD La Chênaie, signaling geriatric portfolio rationalization alongside the major capital investments in robotic surgery and adolescent mental health infrastructure.
