Un Lyeu, une rencontre : La santé sur l’ile d’Yeu : soigner les islais tout en faisant face à l’afflux saisonnier des vacanciers

Health on the Ile d'Yeu: caring for the people of the island while coping with the seasonal influx of holidaymakers

Marc-Antoine LARVOR, Chairman of the Dumonté Hospital Medical Committee and Léa GIBERT, Health Centre Coordinator

The organisation of the health system on the Ile d'Yeu is unique. Once a medical desert, it is now structured around a salaried medical team, which works at both the hospital and the health centre in coordination with the Vendée hospitals of Challans and La Roche-sur-Yon.

What are the most common pathologies in an ageing population of 5,000 inhabitants, and how can they be prevented and cured in the island context?

How do we manage the influx of 30,000 holidaymakers during the summer?
These are the medical, human and organisational challenges facing "the smallest hospital in France".

This year, Un Lyeu une Rencontre celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Once again, the Citadelle meadow will be the place to be. The joy of learning, the joy of thinking, the joy of laughing, the joy of sharing with our speakers.

On the programme, our exclusive recipe for an eclectic range of subjects of general or islais interest, dealt with by experts or written by authors. Topics that speak as much to our intelligence as to our hearts.

Welcome to this exceptional setting, in the shade of centuries-old holm oaks, made available to us by the Conseil départemental with logistical support from the Mairie.
