Hospital Santo Antônio

What Hospital Santo Antônio does

Hospital Santo Ant\u00f4nio, operated by Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Hospitalar de Blumenau, is a 164-year-old philanthropic hospital headquartered in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil. It functions as a regional tertiary reference center serving more than 1.9 million patient attendances annually across 50+ municipalities in the M\u00e9dio Vale do Itaja\u00ed region, with 93.83% of services delivered through Brazil's public health system (SUS). The hospital operates a full-service platform spanning emergency care, diagnostic imaging (including MRI and radiotherapy with linear accelerator), surgical center, multiple ICUs (adult, pediatric, and neonatal), adult and pediatric oncology, high-risk obstetrics, and outpatient specialty clinics. It is the only hospital in Santa Catarina habilitated by SUS for HIPEC surgery and one of the first to perform pediatric cardiac surgeries through SUS, supported by ONA Level 3 accreditation and Selo Doar A+ certification.

The institution is governed by a Conselho Curador composed of 12 representative Blumenau civil society entities, with Lu\u00eds Rebellato as president and Rafael Bertuol as general manager. Its revenue model is a hybrid of SUS government reimbursements (dominant), private insurance (conv\u00eanios), and community donations channeled through the Transformador do Cuidado corporate program, Jantar Dourado fundraising events, Oktoberfest Blumenau solidarity campaigns, and PRONON-tax-advantaged corporate giving. In July 2026 the hospital opened its first subsidiary, Hospital Santo Ant\u00f4nio de Gaspar, via an administrative concession, supported by R$24 million in state capital. Major ongoing capex includes an R$98 million new Tower construction and a recently inaugurated R$62 million MRI center, signaling a deliberate strategy to scale tertiary capacity across the region. Teaching and research operations are anchored by medical and multiprofessional residency programs (in partnership with FURB university) and the in-house Instituto Catarinense de Desenvolvimento da Sa\u00fade (ICDS).
