Medical demography is one of the sensitive subjects. With the arrival of a health center on Avenue Jacques-Besse, the city of Lavaur now has an asset that could encourage new health professionals to settle in the city of Jaquemart.
After activities in the field of grains and then in the packaging of fertilizers, a new life has started for the site, which has been completely revised and corrected.
It is now 80% occupied by a health center. “When my father retired, we wondered what we were going to do with these old buildings. He had the idea in relation to the medical situation to create a health center” explains Dr. Jean- Renaud Fabriès who has chosen to no longer practice in order to devote himself to the health center full time.
After the first two cabinets at the entrance, the entire site was finally renovated.
Today it consists of two main buildings. The first, on the street side, accommodates two general practitioners – with the possibility of accommodating a third – and a cardiology center with offices on the first floor.
The large building at the back has on the ground floor two general practitioners, two osteopaths, a nursing office, a lower limb orthopedics center.
Upstairs are a clinical psychologist and two orthoptists. September will see the arrival of a midwife.
“I was already working with the doctors who had settled in, I followed them. Now I have a room” welcomes Marie Rouzier, nurse of the Asalée system which deals with prevention and therapeutic education.
The large car park will have to become much more green space.
“The idea was to do something that allows patients and ambulances to park easily,” explains Jean-Renaud Fabriès.
The private site can still comfortably accommodate a dozen health professionals, including medical imaging which has been particularly lacking for several months.
