What ch angouleme does

The Centre Hospitalier d'Angoulême (CHA) is a French public hospital establishment (établissement public de santé) that serves as the designated reference healthcare facility (établissement public de santé de référence) for the Charente department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It provides a comprehensive range of services including emergency medicine, surgery, obstetrics/maternity, diagnostic imaging, laboratory analysis, outpatient consultations, long-term care (EHPAD/USLD), and clinical research. CHA serves the general population of Charente through its main campus at Rond Point de Girac in Angoulême, a Centre de Santé network with two sites (including a Basseau/Grande-Garenne satellite offering general medicine and gynecology), and coordinated facilities under a Direction commune.

CHA operates a multi-site technical platform that includes the COFRAC-accredited Laboratoire de Biologie Médicale de Charente (accredited since 2011 under NF EN ISO 15189:2012 for biochemistry, hematology, immunology, and microbiology) and four training institutes: IFAS 16 (nursing assistants), IFA 16, CESU 16 (emergency care training), and SIMU 16, a healthcare simulation center opened in September 2023 using adult and pediatric mannequins, virtual reality, and standardized patients. Multiple quality frameworks underpin operations, including HAS certification (Quality of care confirmed), ISO 9001:2015 for biomedical services (since 2005), Qualiopi certification for training (since June 2021), and the THQSE Or label for the maternity ward (since 2021). CHA also hosts clinical research and ethics committee functions.

CHA's business model is based on French public healthcare reimbursement under the Assurance Maladie / Sécurité sociale system. Revenue is generated through statutory reimbursement claims for medical acts, hospitalisations, and examinations, with patient co-payments depending on complementary insurance (mutuelle) coverage. CHA does not engage in commercial marketing; patients access services via emergency admission, GP referral, online appointment booking, or direct walk-in. The institution participates in the Groupement Hospitalier de Territoire de Charente and operates under a Direction commune with three other hospitals (CH La Rochefoucauld, CH Confolens, CH Ruffec) and EHPAD Habrioux-Aigre, enabling coordinated territorial care delivery. Governance is exercised under the supervision of the Agence Régionale de Santé, with Jean-Rémi Richard serving as Directeur général.
