About Hospital do Coração - Hcor

Our history is marked by philanthropy and the passion for making a difference in people's lives. Hcor provided its first service in 1976, but its trajectory began many years earlier, when a group of women from the Arab community founded, in 1918, the Syrian Sanatorium Association to help orphans from the First World War. The decades of dedication to health, research, teaching and innovation have consolidated us as the main reference in cardiology in Brazil and have also placed us at the forefront in other fields of medicine. Our areas of expertise include more than 50 specialties, with emphasis on neurology, orthopedics, oncology and diagnostic medicine. Caring for others is our vocation, after all, the Syrian Charitable Association, which supports Hcor, has philanthropy and Social Responsibility as a hallmark of its history. Our efforts impact our patients, employees and clinical staff and reverberate throughout healthcare. We currently support the Ministry of Health to strengthen public health, through the Support Program for Institutional Development of the Unified Health System (PROADI-SUS), in projects that serve people in social vulnerability and train professionals across the country. Currently, Hcor includes the following services: consultancy and management, infusion therapy, vaccination center, emergency room, life without cigarettes and the Hcor Mais Saúde Program. Furthermore, Hcor has Environmental and Social Sustainability Policies and ISO14001:2015 Certification. Hcor has decades dedicated to health, research, teaching and innovation, leading cardiology in Brazil and at the forefront in several medical specialties, driven by the passion to make a difference in people's lives.
