Officially founded on November 8, 1936, it stands out as an essential pillar in health care in the southern region of Brazil.

From the beginning, when the local economy was mainly driven by mining and the first patients were mostly miners from the region. Hospital São José has evolved to serve a wide range of audiences and specialties throughout the southern region of Santa Catarina. With a team of around 1,650 dedicated professionals and a clinical staff of 350 specialists, the hospital prides itself on offering excellent medical and hospital care, accredited by ONA at level 3.
