Could you be more precise about this structure Brahms,to avoid it becomes "for sure" a psychiatric hospital ?

specialist hospital centre

As Drmanu correctly points out, there is no reason to assume that the specialism is psychiatric. I think that "special care" has different connotations, including psychiatric. These centres certainly cover a region, but not a Region: we have three in our Department.

neutral SJLD : given that all Asker's subsequent questions related to psychiatry...

It is highly probable that it is a psychiatric hospital, however that doesn't mean that would be the correct translation for this occurence of the term.
neutral writeaway : if it 'probably' is a psychiatric hospital, why isn't it the correct translation here? All your refs have the word "en" following the wor d specialisé and that changes the meaning completely.
4 days
Of course the refs I give have "en ..." after, the purpose was to illustrate that the term can be used for other disciplines than psychiatry.

Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : very convincing explanation to back so much confidence. Are you referring to Canadian hospitals or French hospitals?/that's the prob. this has a very specific meaning in France.
32 mins
Canadian hospitals, of course. Here, some are "general" hospitals while others are specialized: Psychiatry (Pierre-Janet, Royal Ottawa), cardiology (Civic Hospital), children (CHEO), veterans, etc.//Nowhere does it specify France!

Anyone who has lived in France will know that if you say "je travaille dans un centre hospitalier spécialisé" without actually specifying what it specialises in, then you mean it's a psychiatric hospital.

I don't believe there are any "centres hospitaliers spécialisés" in the US - they don't speak French there...
disagree hadda : Il existe plusieurs specialisations. pourquoi pshychiatrique "among all others"??

I think several of us live in France and have indicated that CHS is not just psychiatry.

sourire caché : HP= hôpital psychiatrique et CHS= centre hospitalier spécialisé ; c'est pareil; mais ça ne veut pas dire que tu es une candidate pour entrer en HP!! n'aie pas peur : je pense que ton psychiatre ( qui est sans doute un psy libéral, cabinet en ville) juge que tu serais mieux prise en charge par un psy de l'HP que par lui; les psy de HP, ou CHS, donne des consultations aussi en ville , dans les CMP ; ton psy a du te donner l'adresse du CMP dont tu dépends géographiquement ?
