The Groupement Hospitalier Mutualiste (GHM) of Grenoble, a non-profit private healthcare establishment of collective interest (ESPIC), was placed under judicial administration by the Tribunal judiciaire de Grenoble on December 1, 2025, following the declaration of cessation of payments by the provisional administrators appointed in 2023. This institution handles over 35,000 medical, surgical, and obstetrics stays annually, with its emergency, maternity, oncology, interventional cardiology, and critical care services addressing a significant healthcare need for South Isère.
Following a call for potential buyers launched in January 2026, the ARS Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (Regional Health Agency) has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the continuity of patient care and the maintenance of healthcare activities. The selected offer, presented by the Fondation Boissel, includes the continuation of all currently authorized services, their enhancement through significant investment plans, and the reopening of emergency services for continuous operation. The GHM of Grenoble plays a crucial and structuring role in the healthcare provision of the department.
To support the institution's consolidation and the execution of priority investments, particularly the restructuring of emergency services, the ARS is providing exceptional multi-year financial assistance. This support is split equally between operational balance stabilization, to secure the economic conditions of the takeover, and investment support, aimed at addressing accumulated delays and initiating urgent projects. The ARS will remain attentive to healthcare service expectations and will maintain shared monitoring of the situation's evolution with the Fondation Boissel and territorial partners.
