The interventional cardiology centre

At the end of 2011, the Axium clinic and the Polyclinique du Parc Rambot, both located in Aix-en-Provence, joined forces to form a GCS (Groupement de Coopération sanitaire). This structure, named GCS Axium Rambot, is intended to house the interventional and non-invasive cardiology activities carried out in the two establishments.
