It smells of fresh paint and a few cables are still hanging from the ceiling, but the Chambon-Feugerolles health center is on the right track. If all goes as planned, it will open in January 2023above the pharmacy of Jean-Marc Benaiche, the pharmacist behind the project, who draws up a damning observation: “There are people here who are in a non-follow-up and there is an increasingly significant anxiety, they are helpless”.
With this nursing home, he does not claim to meet all requests, but the inhabitants of his town will be able to find from January two general practitioners and an osteopath. “The doctor who wants to settle down will have a guaranteed clientele”says Jean-Marc Benaiche, who would like to attract midwives or even pulmonologists or pediatricians. A total of six cabinets are available.
In the premises, each practitioner is identified by a color: apple green, azure blue, yellow… but not everyone will be forced to move here since a nursing home is above all an administrative infrastructure, a network of caregivers. “Come! come!” insists Jean-Marc Benaiche, whom you can contact, if you are interested, at the Grand Pharmacy of the Sun in Chambon-Feugerolles.
