More than 1900 beds
3 hospital sites :
La Milétrie, Lusignan and Montmorillon
Poitiers University hospital, a local healthcare provider
Poitiers University Hospital provides the necessary local healthcare to the 192 000 inhabitants of the urban community of Poitiers.
A complete chain of care is provided; short stays and long term care, out-patient after care and rehabilitation.
Poitiers University hospital, a regional healthcare provider and centre of expertise
Poitiers University Hospital also has a more widespread regional mission benefiting the 436 000 inhabitants of the Vienne department and a regional population of 1.8 million in Poitou Charentes particularly in cardiology, oncology, geriatrics, neurosurgery, pediatrics, medical biology and medical imaging.
Interregional projects are also in place concerning these main activities in partnership with other University Hospitals in the “great west” region of France.
The 2019-2023 institutional project highlights the hospital’s committal to excellence through the existence of clinical centres with the potential to respond to public health issues, therapeutic innovation, fundamental and clinical research.
Departement of La Vienne, a territory
Territory is an important notion because everyone must have access to healthcare. Poitiers University Hospital is commited to this goal. It began in january 2013, with the fusion with Lusignan Hospital, which consolidated the continuous and rehabilitation care offer within the department. The site of Lusignan is now a part of the geriatric pole.
Poitiers University Hospital next step, in january 2016, was the fusion with Montmorillon Hospital, which is now a pole of Poitiers University Hospital and provides healthcare for people living near Montmorillon. It offers 276 beds (98 short-stay beds and 178 long-stay beds) and has 430 employees, which is average in the Poitiers University Hospital poles. An architectural project is in progress on the site of Montmorillon, the building of a medical and surgical center which will be opened in october 2020.
In July 2016, the “groupement hospitalier de territoire (GHT)” of la Vienne was created under the healthcare system modernization law. It is one of twelve GHT within the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It is composed of the hospital group of Nord-Vienne (Châtellerault and Loudun), of the four EHPAD Les Capucines, Théodore Arnault, Les Châtaigniers et La Brunetterie, of the post-op and rehabilitation center La Colline ensoleillée and of Poitiers University Hospital. The purpose of this new way of cooperation between public healthcare facilities is to ensure an equal access to healthcare for all patients, regardless of their place of residence or the facility they contact first.
In October 2018, Poitiers University Hospital and the hospital group of Nord-Vienne (which includes Châtellerault and Loudun hospitals), signed an agreement for a joint management, which sets 3 goals :
- Developing the treatment offer around Châtellerault and Loudun
- Return to financial balance for the hospital group of Nord-Vienne
- Fusion between the facilities within three years after the agreement was signed.
Before this joint management, both facilities worked together on Hôpitaux86 portal launching, which is a first national experiment on data sharing inside the GHT and the city.
More specifically, the Hôpitaux86 portal has four objectives :
- Managing the patient identity at the GHT level,
- Sharing medical data between Poitiers University Hospital and the hospital group of Nord-Vienne,
- Opening hospitals to city medicine,
- Opening hospitals to patients.
This portal creates a link between facilities, around the patient, and a link between facilites, city medicine and patients. The control over the care pathway is essential for patient management. It means that hospitals must facilitate access to medical records for city doctors. Similarly, patients increasingly want to get involved in their management and should be able to access their medical data.
Poitiers University Hospital simultaneously set up a shared medical record in partnership with the local sickness insurance fund in Novembre 2018, which falls within the governmental plan “Ma Santé 2022”, in keeping with a digital turn for the healthcare system.
The purpose of this shared medical record is to collect medical information to allow patients and health professionals to have the right information at the right moment.
Public and private partnership
Poitiers University Hospital is a public healthcare facility opened towards the city. Since 2015, it collaborates with city doctors, especially liberal radiologists, through an Economic Interest Grouping within the cancerology pole.
This pole benefits from a 64 barette scanner and from a 1,5 Tesla MRI scan, inside a technical platform that also has a radiation simulation scanner and two PET scanners (GIE Position Poitou-Charentes).
With this fast and safe treatment offer, Poitiers University Hospital answers a proximity mission, regional referral mission and a mission of research and healthcare.

INSERM approved research units on the 1st of January 2012
Poitiers University Hospital is a pivotal centre of several territories. The latter are complementary and each of them represents an area of cooperation. All of these actions are essential to creating a multi territorial web of healthcare and establishing the CHU as both a local and regional centre of reference.
Le centre hospitalier universitaire est un acteur de santé publique à trois niveaux.
Éducation du patient
Consultations médicales anti-tabac
Consultations paramédicales pour les patients diabétiques et asthmatiques
Actions d’éducation pour la santé
Consultations pluridisciplinaires pour la prévention des chutes
Depuis 1993, le CHU de Poitiers organise et anime un “pôle info-santé”, point de rencontre avec les professionnels de santé ouvert au public, en partenariat avec l’Espace Mendès-France, centre de culture scientifique de Poitiers. Chaque année, un millier de personnes assistent à ces soirées-débats.
Villa Santé
En novembre 2018, le CHU de Poitiers a inauguré sa Villa Santé, structure dédiée à la promotion de la santé regroupant en un lieu identifié les actions en santé publique du CHU.
Répondre aux besoins de santé de la population et faire face à la croissance des maladies chroniques
Réduire les inégalités en santé en créant un nouveau mode d’organisation et d’intervention
Produire des données probantes et affermir la recherche dans le domaine de la promotion de la santé
Valoriser les actions en santé publique menées au CHU en les regroupant en un lieu identifié
Prévention
Le CHU participe à des réseaux sanitaires et sociaux tels que le réseau gérontologique ville-hôpital ainsi qu’à des actions de lutte contre l’exclusion sociale.
Il propose également un réseau d’aide aux insuffisants cardiaques (Apic).
Depuis 1998, le CHU a mis en place un dispositif de prise en charge médico-sociale des personnes en situation de précarité et d’exclusion : la permanence d’accès aux soins de santé (PASS).
Initiative de l’association Médecins du monde, cette structure fonctionne grâce à ses partenaires réunis par convention : le CCAS, le CHU, le CHL et l’association Toit du monde. A ces organismes s’ajoutent le centre social M3Q et Médecins du monde.
