With nearly 1,500 staff members, the Department of Rehabilitation and Geriatrics (DRG) is a medical centre focused on the elderly and is spread across 5 sites: Trois-Chêne, Loëx, Bellerive, Beau-Séjour and Joli-Mont. It manages acute situations, notably through the emergency services at the Trois-Chêne Hospital, age-specific issues, medical rehabilitation, and palliative care.

Located in the heart of a park on the Belle-Idée estate, the Trois-Chêne Hospital admits patients whose health condition requires hospitalisation for acute geriatric or rehabilitation care. The hospital has a geriatric emergency unit for patients aged 75 and over, excluding life-threatening emergencies, a full radiology unit, an intermediate care unit, as well as acute care and rehabilitation units.
