ELSAN Corporate purpose
Act responsibly and innovatively to provide healthcare everywhere
What is corporate purpose ?
The social dimension of ELSAN
ELSAN is the leading private hospital group in France, with 28,000 employees and 7,500 self-employed doctors working in 212 healthcare facilities and centers throughout the country, treating almost 5 million patients every year. The Group is present in all areas of the hospital sector and in every region of France.
At ELSAN, our social commitment is an integral part of our mission to provide high-quality, innovative, humane and sustainable care to everyone, everywhere. Our establishments and centres have a responsible vocation: together, we form a committed company. The aim of our corporate social responsibility approach is to drive the implementation of our values, in line with our strategic objectives. It reflects our efforts to rise to the social challenges we face and to meet the expectations of all our stakeholders, both internal and external.
Why define a corporate purpose ?
We place patients and regions at the heart of our collective approach: it is for them and with them that our Group is transforming and evolving to meet the healthcare challenges of tomorrow.
We are committed to taking care of everyone, using a responsible approach to healthcare and preserving resources. This ambition has led us to develop ELSAN corporate purpose.
