Appointed on February 25th to head theRegional Health Agency of Guadeloupe, Philippe Luccioni-Michaux presented, during a visit to Saint-Martin, the major priorities of its action in the Northern IslandsIn office since March 9, he intends to increase his travels every two months to “immerse himself in local realities”.
At the heart of the concerns: the Louis Constant Fleming Hospital CenterWeakened by chronic instability (six directors in six years), the institution is going through a new period of turbulence after the dismissal of its directorSébastien Galleyn.

In Saint-Martin, the the question of aging is also essential. A mission is underway to define the outlines of a future Ehpadwhose capacity could reach 70 places compared to 40 today. But for the Regional Health Agency (ARS), which supports the existing structure, the issue goes beyond accommodation: it is about developing home support and to better support caregivers.
