SOS Cárdio Hospital

What SOS Cárdio Hospital does

Hospital SOS Cárdio is a private, for-profit hospital headquartered in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil, founded in 1991 and operating from a purpose-built facility inaugurated in July 2011 on Rodovia SC 401. It began as a cardiology-focused center and has grown into the largest high-complexity cardiac care provider in Santa Catarina's private health network, employing 200+ physicians and 500+ total staff (firmographic range 251–500). Beyond its core cardiac services, it operates a multidisciplinary platform spanning emergency care, hemodynamics and interventional cardiology (including TAVI, catheterization and angioplasty), electrophysiology and arrhythmia treatment (catheter and epicardial ablation, pacemakers), a 32-bed ICU (the largest private ICU in Santa Catarina), oncology, robotic surgery with the Da Vinci X system, neurosurgery, orthopedics, bariatric and digestive surgery.

Underlying the clinical operation is a substantial technology and quality infrastructure: two fully equipped hemodynamics rooms, a fourth-generation Da Vinci X robotic surgery platform, ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blockade, and the Pixeon ClickVita digital portal for patient exam results. The hospital holds the Qmentum International Diamond-level accreditation from Canada's Health Standards Organization — the first in Greater Florianópolis, with distinction awards for ICU and Hemodynamics — and is ranked 7th nationally by SBHCI for TAVI procedures among 150 reference hospitals in Brazil.

Its business model is direct-to-patient healthcare delivery, monetized through professional-service fees and insurance reimbursements. Patients access services via a 24/7 emergency department, scheduled consultations, diagnostic exams, and inpatient stays, with the hospital accepting 50+ convênio (health insurance) partners including Amil, Bradesco Saúde, Unimed, SulAmerica, Omint, Petrobras, GEAP and Marinha. End demand is broad-based (5,000+ monthly ER visits, ~300 cardiac interventions and ~400 other surgeries per month), and revenue mechanics rely on insurance reimbursement schedules plus private-pay arrangements rather than disclosed public pricing. The company is independently owned, with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, or external funding rounds.

Core offering

Hospital SOS Cárdio is a private, multi-specialty hospital in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, founded in 1991 and operating from a purpose-built facility inaugurated in July 2011. Its core offering is high-complexity cardiac care — including 24/7 emergency services, interventional cardiology (TAVI, angioplasty, catheterization), cardiac surgery, electrophysiology and arrhythmia treatment (ablation, leadless pacemakers), and a 32-bed ICU — augmented by robotic surgery using the Da Vinci X system, an integrated oncology center, and complementary outpatient consultations, diagnostic imaging, and inpatient services.

Product overview

Hospital SOS Cárdio is a comprehensive private hospital in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, operating as a unified healthcare platform centered on its high-complexity cardiac care foundation. The hospital functions as an integrated service ecosystem rather than a single product, combining emergency care, surgical services (including robotic surgery with Da Vinci X), hemodynamics and interventional cardiology (TAVI, angioplasty, catheterization), electrophysiology and arrhythmia treatment (ablation, pacemakers), intensive care (32-bed ICU), and an oncology center — all supported by outpatient consultations, diagnostic imaging, and inpatient facilities. A multidisciplinary care model weaves together physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists, psychologists, speech therapists, pharmacists, and dentists across all services, with complementary patient-facing digital tools including a Pixeon-based exam results portal, a patient messaging service, and a library of free educational materials.
