Beyond the aspect of regrouping of services, the new entity of the hospital center which will be born in two years at the Cup is the result of a reflection going beyond the sole framework of the health organization. Decryption.
On an immense surface of 12,700 m2, not far from the Korian follow-up care clinic and the nursing home in Pech d’Alcy, a new district reserved for health has been launched. In two years, it will bring together the Institute for the training of nursing care and nursing assistants, child psychiatry, gerontology, as well as Auxilia, the therapeutic day care of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
Beyond the buildings, it is the spirit of the project that is innovative in itself. By creating a new entity at the Cup, the hospital center is pushing its activities outside the walls while going much further since it creates bridges between compartmentalized services and creates resource places by opening up to the outside.

Restoring a societal function to the hospital
“It is an innovative co-construction on a territory, explains Nicolas Boudet, head of the gerontology center. The Hospital is not only concerned with health, but also with prevention. We need to complete our technical platforms with care tools, while giving the hospital a societal function “. With a structure open to all partners, associations, and all citizens, the group that worked internally has designed a project that embodies deeply human values.
With four children’s homes scattered throughout the city, child psychiatry today cannot offer optimal conditions of care. “We will be able to have an advanced service and optimize the space welcomes Mathieu Sebba, head of the child psychiatry center, who sees it as a laboratory for prevention, exploration and care.

The same state of mind at the gerontology center, where prevention is a key player in support. Anticipating weaknesses makes it possible to move back the moment when the person enters an institution. A policy which passes through intergenerational strategies, thanks to which each one crosses his experiences. Psychomotor therapists and occupational therapists will thus be called upon to work both in pedopsy and in gerontology, helped by the nursing students.
Make this common house a place of life
“It is important to provide a place where those involved in the journey can meet and create innovative strategies and pool prevention resources. Make this common house a place of life, cementing a common identity around the concern for the health of each ” explains Dr Boudet. We are going to create a day hospital for follow-up and rehabilitation care, with specific ortho-geriatric care and cognitive stimulation “. An ambitious nursing home project is in the making with the support of the SSIAD (home nursing service) installed on site, requiring coordinated care.
Create the right conditions for meetings between professionals and the public results in the creation of a third place and the provision of premises intended for all stakeholders: town hall, department, liberal medico-social … This alongside premises hosting workshops, (cooking and nutrition, digital …), balneotherapy, a sports hall, a library, a caregiver’s café and resource centers made available to the public, with, at the heart of this system, a restaurant for all.

When the architect draws the will of the designers
In order to transcend the primary notion of care attributed to the hospital, particular interest has been given to architecture. Wood is favored for its warm appearance, the light is diffused thanks to the mutitude of bay windows and the buildings have been arranged around a large open space. Solar panels will complete the energy-efficient design. Between the buildings, walkways will link the spaces.
The schedule: the work will be phased in over time, with, first of all, the filing of permits at the end of 2021 from the Institute for Training in Nursing and Caregivers (IFSI and IFAS) and the restaurant, followed phase 2 of gerontology and pedopsy with a scheduled delivery June 2023.
