The team of Brès-Croizat municipal health center at Cherbourg (Some), which for the past year has had two doctors, a midwife, a pediatrician and an administrative team of three people, will be strengthened in the fall by two new doctors. Dr Eva Blondel will arrive in November, and Pierre-Elie Pinault in September.
Both have already attended the Cotentin during their studies. Eva Blondel notably completed her internship at the liberal ambulatory health center Piles. At 27, she will set up part-time, two days a week, and will do freelance replacements the rest of the time.
????⚕️???? The dynamic driven by the Brès-Croizat project continues with 2 new recruitments! A successful bet for the city and the health center who want to compensate for the lack of doctors and streamline the time taken for care.

1 800 patients
Pierre-Elie Pinault also studied at the Caen Faculty of Medicine (Calvados). For several months he has been making replacements in the Cotentin. He will be full-time at the center, sharing his activity between general medicine and sports medicine, in complementarity with the health service of the City of Cherbourg and with the Maison Sport Santé which will soon be deployed by the Pasteur hospital.
“We opened in March 2020 under special conditions,” recalls Dr. Benoît Perret, manager of the cooperative company that runs the center. But to date, 1,800 people have already been able to find an attending physician.
Admissions interrupted in April
In partnership with associations, it is in particular people without care or with chronic illnesses who have been taken care of.
However, the admission of new general medicine patients was interrupted in April, due to the saturated patients of Dr Frédéric Coussin and Franck Letourneur. With these two reinforcements, Dr. Letourneur, chief medical officer of the center, estimates that the threshold of 2,500 patients will be quickly crossed.
We are a health center, not just care. There is an important prevention dimension.
“This first year has validated our initial intentions”, for their part greet Mayor Benoît Arrivé and Lydie Lepoittevin, assistant in charge of health. “We have a very good feedback from the inhabitants. Of course, we haven’t solved all the medical demographics issues, but we are moving in the right direction. “
