ELSAN

What ELSAN does

ELSAN is France's leading private hospital operator, headquartered in Paris at 58 bis rue la Boétie. Founded in November 2015 through the merger of Vedici and Vitalia and expanded via the 2017 acquisition of Mé디Pôle Partenaires and the 2021 acquisition of C2S, the company operates a national network of 217 healthcare establishments and centers serving approximately 5 million patients annually across all regions of France. Its core offerings span acute hospitalization, surgery, medical consultations, maternity (25 units delivering 27,200 births per year), oncology, rehabilitation (SMR), home hospitalization (HAD), refractive surgery (Laser Vision), corporate prevention services, and dedicated international patient services. Underlying technology includes 25 Da Vinci surgical robots, 26 robotic radiotherapy systems (including 2 Cyberknife units, Halcyon, TrueBeam, and Novalis Tx), 40 CT scanners, 45 MRI machines, 8 PET scans, 1,048 operating theaters, 4K-Ultra HD surgical columns, a Focal One prostate treatment device, VR headsets for patient comfort, and the Mon Espace Elsan Care digital patient portal integrated with ELSAN Dom home care coordination and Paytweak online billing. The company reinvests more than 6% of revenue into technology, digital, infrastructure, and technical platforms annually.

ELSAN employs 28,000 collaborators and coordinates a network of 7,500 practicing liberal physicians across medical and surgical specialties. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service hospital and surgical care, outpatient consultations, maternity and oncology pathways, home hospitalization, corporate prevention contracts, and inbound medical tourism; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by care type, facility, and patient insurance coverage. The business operates a hybrid B2C/B2B go-to-market: individual patients discover services and book appointments through the online annuaire (directory), corporate clients access prevention and wellness programs through the ELSAN Prévention unit, and international patients are supported by a dedicated admissions team and medical tourism offering. ELSAN is led by Executive President Sébastien Proto, with Deputy CEOs covering Finance (Olivier Regnard), Operations (Isabelle Gagneux), and Strategy and Development (Simon Levy); the executive committee also includes functional directors for digital/IT, HR, legal, communications, public affairs, and operational performance.
