Hospital Evangelico De Cachoeiro De Itapemirim

What Hospital Evangelico De Cachoeiro De Itapemirim does

Hospital Evangélico de Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (HECI) is a Brazilian philanthropic (non-profit) hospital founded on June 2, 1958 and operational since February 25, 1986, headquartered in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo. It is the reference hospital for high-complexity care across the southern ES macro-region, receiving SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) referrals from 27+ municipalities. Its service portfolio spans emergency care, intensive care (20-bed adult CTI, 18-bed neonatal UTIN, 8-bed coronary UCO), hemodynamics and cardiac surgery (including pediatric), two linear accelerators for 3D radiotherapy, chemotherapy and onco-hematology, neurosurgery (24/7 adult and pediatric), bariatric surgery (Ministry of Health reference since 2003), nephrology with 14 hemodialysis machines serving ~80 patients in three daily shifts, hemophilia care, and a regional blood bank supplying 15-16 hospitals. The hospital runs specialized satellite operations — HECI Litoral Sul (HELS) in Itapemirim (administered for 13+ years; 20-bed ICU and diagnostic imaging), Instituto dos Olhos Dona Dalila (the first state eye institute outside the metropolitan region, expanded ~45% in March 2026), HECI Diagnósticos (multi-site MRI, CT, ultrasound, digital mammography, scintigraphy), and Support Houses accommodating ~50 companions daily.

HECI's technology stack is built on enterprise clinical platforms (Vivace EMR/portal, Arco Informática-developed hospital website) and high-end imaging and intervention equipment, including a newly acquired AI-assisted 128-channel CT scanner (July 2026), GE hemodynamics systems, and the Versius robotic surgery platform for complex oncological procedures including esophageal cancer. The hospital is ONA Level 1 accredited (main campus and HELS), holds Ministry of Health / MEC designations across 10 medical residency specialties and 4 multiprofessional residency programs (169 medical and 143 multiprofessional graduates to date), and operates social programs such as HECI-VER (10,000+ ophthalmology procedures for elderly patients over four years), the 2ª Corrida do Coração cardiovascular awareness event, and the Imposto de Renda Solidário campaign.

The revenue model is a mixed three-stream payer architecture: (1) SUS (Brazilian public healthcare system) agreements with municipal, state, and federal health secretaries — the primary revenue source — providing capitation and per-procedure reimbursement under SUS fee schedules; (2) private health insurance network contracts with multiple payers (subscription-style recurring flows); (3) out-of-pocket private-pay patients receiving individual quotes via WhatsApp. Targeted government convênios supplement the mix (e.g., R$ 1.14M ophthalmology, R$ 450K hearing, R$ 357K urological procedures). Underlying this is a community-led go-to-market reinforced by sales-led SUS/health-insurance referrals and event-driven engagement (Heart Race), with enterprise-style "anchor" distribution through the multi-site campus, Eye Institute, Diagnostic Centers, and Blood Bank network. The Hospital do Câncer project — a public-private 21,000 m², 120-bed oncology facility under construction with the State and Municipality — is the most significant near-term capacity and revenue expansion in the pipeline.
