The French company Iris, the provider of private hospital services, announced on 2 October 2006 the opening of a new private hospital in the east of France, in Saint Priest (Rhône), in March 2008. The group currently employs 450 people in France. The hospital in Saint Priest will be the third of Iris, after the ones in Marcy l'Etoile and Lyon, both in Rhône. As a result of the new hospital, 130 new employees are expected to be recruited in March 2008. Iris is a subsidiary of the Groupe général de santé.
