GSMN Neuchâtel SA integrates Clinique Montbrillant
Genolier Swiss Medical Network (GSMN) continues its development and invests in La Chaux-de-Fonds. An agreement regarding the integration of Clinique Montbrillant within GSMN Neuchâtel SA, a 100% subsidiary of GSMN, has been signed on 30 March 2015. This agreement will allow GSMN Neuchâtel SA to offer medical services on two sites and for the entire canton of Neuchâtel. All personnel and doctors of Clinique Montbrillant will continue to work within the clinic. Clinique Montbrillant will formally be integrated into GSMN Neuchâtel as of 1 April 2015.

GSMN has concluded today, through the intermediary of its subsidiary GSMN Neuchâtel SA, an agreement regarding the integration of 100% of the shares of Montbrillant SA, which owns a private clinic in La-Chaux-de-Fonds. Clinique Montbrillant is mainly specialised in orthopaedics, ophthalmology, gynaecology and general surgery. In 2014, the clinic realised a turnover of nearly CHF 15 million. The site includes two buildings, one of which was built in 2012 and which comprises, amongst others, three latest generation operating theatres. With the integration of Clinique Montbrillant, GSMN is now able to offer quality medical services to all patients of the canton of Neuchâtel.

With the integration into GSMN, Clinique Montbrillant will benefit from the advantages of an important network that will support its further development. Medical partnerships with insurance companies as well as purchasing synergies will be achieved with all the clinics of the group, and mainly with Hôpital de la Providence.

The integration of Clinique Montbrillant proves GSMN's attachment to the canton of Neuchâtel as well as its intention to invest in and develop a medical activity for the entire population of the canton. The integration of Clinique Montbrillant serves to ensure the longevity and development of the clinic, as well as its employments. On the long run, it will lead to important investments in this mountainous part of the canton. GSMN wishes to obtain the inscription of Clinique Montbrillant on the hospital list of the canton of Neuchâtel, in order to facilitate the medical treatment of patients in their environment, especially now that this proximity to medical care is threatened.

Clinique Montbrillant, founded in 1909 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, is mainly specialised in ophthalmology, orthopaedics, gynaecology and general surgery. It also offers a wide range of specialised consultations, including a radiology centre and general medicine services. With 60 employees and 35 doctors, the Clinique annually realises, with 25 beds, some 3'250 surgical interventions, of which 75% are ambulatory.
