This is the third move of the Vivarais clinic. Created after the Second World War, the clinic is located in the city center of Aubenas. It moved for the first time in the early 1970s to settle in a new, more spacious building.
But this building located near the old station of the city was no longer suitable. The new building is more functional. Its architecture corresponds better to modern surgery.
A clinic that performs 80% of outpatient procedures
The clinic pursues the specialties it previously provided: stomatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, digestive endoscopy, upper limb orthopedics, vascular surgery. In most of these disciplines, it is sufficient today to keep the patient for a day at most, the investigations being much less invasive. This new building responds to this change.
For slightly heavier interventions, the clinic has twenty rooms to accommodate patients over several days.
Attract new doctors
The medical demography in the Aubenas basin is deteriorating a little more every day. The director of the Vivarais clinic wants to believe that new equipment like this new clinic can, among other things, attract new doctors.
In the clinic building there is a consultation house. The clinic makes premises available to doctors or paramedical staff such as physiotherapists to exercise their activity.
