Moselle. Isabelle Caillier leaves the management of the Marie-Madeleine de Forbach hospital

Isabelle Caillier took up her duties as director of the Chic Unisanté on July 23, 2013. Nine years later, she is about to leave after piloting crucial transformations in the health establishments under her responsibility: the Marie-Madeleine hospital in Forbach, the Lemire hospital in Saint-Avold, two nursing homes and the nursing training institute (Ifsi) in Forbach.

Isabelle Caillier, soon to be 62, will officially retire in 2023. Her lease in Forbach coincides with an overhaul of the healthcare offer in Moselle-Est. She had been chosen to participate in the implementation of the new medical project. Mission accomplished.

I tried to be a conductor, but I couldn’t have achieved anything on my own.

The Marie-Madeleine hospital in Forbach has been strengthened in several medical specialties: neurology, pneumology, intensive care in cardiology, level 2 B center for maternity, pediatrics and neonatology. Emergencies have more than 45,000 visits per year. Surgical activity was strengthened in Forbach as well as the geriatric sector in Saint-Avold. Cooperation with the Sarreguemines hospital has been stepped up. Another challenge taken up: that of the cross-border with the signing of the Mosar convention, authorizing in particular Franco-German management of emergency heart attacks in the border area.

“We were builders”

“We were also builders. We have built two new nursing homes with the move planned for June 8 for that of Forbach and in the fall for Saint-Avold. The new Ifsi in Forbach should be delivered at the beginning of July,” says Isabelle Caillier.

She will remember having had to lead the destiny of a hospital in times of a global coronavirus pandemic: “We lived through a dramatic period with a virus of which we knew almost nothing. We have been hit hard. There were many deaths. In 2020, the Covid has punctuated our lives. I also keep the memory of wonderful moments of solidarity, with the management team, the doctors, the caregivers but also the inhabitants, the merchants, the elected officials of the agglomeration of Forbach and Saint-Avold. A hospital is a whole. I tried to be a conductor, but I couldn’t have achieved anything on my own, ”insists the Dr Caillier.
