Vivalto Santé

Leading group of private hospitals in France

Founded in 2009 by Daniel Caille, Vivalto Santé (“the Group”) is a leading group of private hospitals in France, formed from the combination of three private hospitals. Combined, the Group operates a network of 90 healthcare facilities, making it the third largest private hospital group in France and provides care across 6 European countries. Vivalto’s private hospitals specialise in short duration stays and are positioned on the higher end of the market, with 100% of its facilities benefiting from the HAS quality certificate.

The Group relies on more than 20,000 employees to fulfil its mission and, with the support of its financial investors as well as the strong commitment from its practitioner-shareholders, it is able to continuously provide superior service.

IK Partners acquired a minority stake in Vivalto Santé in November 2021, alongside co-investors, the founder-backed investment fund ‘Vivalto Partners’, practitioners and management.

Quote from the Client

“With the support of its financial investors and the strong commitment of its practitioner-shareholders, Vivalto Santé enthusiastically contemplates the next steps of its development as an “Entreprise à Mission” in a context of sustained growth. The firm will continue to deploy its centres of excellence and live by its unconditional commitment to care and strong values.
