Its initiators hope to open it later this year.
It is because the spirit of their former professional executive no longer corresponded to their aspirations that Martine Desquerre (midwife by profession) and Julien Lamy-Malek (he is a nurse) decided to embark on this long-term adventure. Classes. Quickly joined by Jérémy Malek-Lamy (departmental advisor) and now co-founder of the Quartier Santé association and co-sponsor of the project.
A trio determined to make the most of its ethical values in motion. “This is how the idea of an associative health center in town was born. And we got down to work the next day!”, summarizes Jérémy Malek-Lamy.
In addition to this founding postulate, those concerned, like others, could only observe the significant degradation of the healthcare offer, even in a city such as Montpellier. “The course of care is more and more difficult for people”, notes Julien Lamy-Malek.
“A bit like a village square, not a clinical place but for meetings and resources”
As for the choice of Lemasson to establish itself, it was imposed following “of a territorial health study that we have done in depth. We have noticed great needs in the medium term with an aging population and practitioners, families “, continues Jérémy Malek-Lamy. A neighborhood also deprived “midwife, gynecologist”, specifies Martine Desquerre.
This with, in addition, “all the difficulties of a priority district”. And if the 140 m2 room rented along Boulevard Pedro-de-Luna (and adjacent to the dental center) is still only an empty plateau, the project leaders hope to soon develop it. “a bit like a village square, not a clinical place but for meetings and resources”, Jérémy announces.
And in which the white coats of hospital structures – specialists – should ultimately provide consultations. A hell of a lot more.
