Abstract: Through the analysis of the contingent, strategic and structural factors which underpin the agenda setting of the contamination of aquatic areas by drug residue around the University Health Center of Bordeaux (UHCB), this paper highlights the emergence of an environmental responsibility surrounding healthcare services induced by the current transformation of the UHCB. The UHCB switched from intramural to extramural management by strengthening the institutional interdependences and the interactions with different stakeholders of the territory.
