What Hospital PUC-Campinas does

Hospital PUC-Campinas (legal name Hospital e Maternidade Celso Pierro) is a filantropic (charitable non-profit) tertiary hospital founded in 1976 and located in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. It is owned and maintained by the Sociedade Campineira de Educação e Instrução (SCEI), the same entity that maintains the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC-Campinas), and operates as an academic teaching hospital integrated with the university's Faculty of Medicine. The hospital provides 24-hour emergency care, inpatient hospitalization, neonatal and pediatric intensive care, chemotherapy and oncology services, surgical specialties, nephrology, urology, hematology, and outpatient consultations through its Centro Clínico, supported by a PALC-accredited in-house clinical analysis laboratory and modern diagnostic imaging.

The institution's core technology stack centers on healthcare delivery infrastructure augmented by a telemedicine platform launched in November 2024 in partnership with the Municipality of Campinas, delivering over 1,500 SUS consultations per month across multiple specialties. Adjacent innovations include a VR-based Game Therapy program for chemotherapy patients, a nurse-led Patient Navigator Program, and assistive technology integration (Colibri head mouse) for patients with motor limitations. The hospital maintains medical residency programs, a clinical research center, and a 10+ year volunteer program with more than 300 active volunteers.

The business model is multi-payer: services are billed through more than 30 private health insurance plans (convênios), the Brazilian public healthcare system SUS (including the Mais Santas Casas program since October 2021), and direct self-pay (particular). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, consistent with its non-profit status. The hospital is CEBAS-certified, providing tax-advantaged charitable status, and serves primarily the Campinas metropolitan region without disclosed geographic expansion plans.
