title: [Palliative care, health and region].
abstract: With the advent of the HPST (Hospital, Patients, Health and Regions) law, the area of Le Voironnais (Isère) and its healthcare institutions provide a structured health service favouring patients' access to palliative care whatever their age. To achieve this, they set up a management committee to which they integrated very early on a mobile palliative care team (EMSP). Despite their diversity, the institutions follow a common strategy in which the needs of elderly patients requiring palliative care are recognised in all accommodation sectors.
