Hôpital Cochin

The Hôpital Cochin (French pronunciation: [opital kɔʃɛ̃]) is a public hospital situated on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Jacques, Paris 14e. It houses the main burn treatment centre of the city. The Hôpital Cochin is an affiliate of the Faculté de Médecine Paris-Cité. It is named after Jean-Denis Cochin, curé of the parish of Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas, who founded a hospital for the workers and poor of this quarter of Paris. Since 1990, a biomedical research centre, the Institut Cochin, has been affiliated with the hospital. It was reorganised in 2002 to encompass genetic research, molecular biology and cellular biology, with a staff of about 600. It is part of both INSERM and CNRS, integrated into the Université Paris Cité. In 2004, the Maison de Solenn, a shelter for adolescents named after Solenn Poivre d'Arvor, has opened in the hospital with the active support of Bernadette Chirac.
