Laboratório Pró-Saúde

What Laboratório Pró-Saúde does

Laboratório Pró-Saúde is a private Brazilian clinical analysis laboratory headquartered in Estação, Rio Grande do Sul, providing diagnostic testing services to regional patients, health insurance plan members, and corporate clients. The legal entity, LPS Laboratório de Análises Clínicas Ltda, traces its origin to September 1, 1997, when it was founded as Brandalise e Mossmann Ltda (Laboratório São Carlos) in Farroupilha/RS before relocating to Estação on March 1, 1999 and adopting its current trade name. The laboratory is led by Drª. Maristela Brandalise, a Pharmaceutical-Biochemist trained at UFSM with a post-graduate specialization in Clinical Analysis. It operates a hub-and-spoke footprint consisting of a main laboratory in Estação and three collection posts in Getúlio Vargas, Ipiranga do Sul, and Sertão, with a team of approximately 9-11 employees (3 biochemists and 6 nursing technicians).

The company's service catalog spans routine and specialized clinical diagnostics, including biochemistry, hematology, hormones and tumor markers, immunology, microbiology, parasitology, and urinalysis, with on-site point-of-care testing delivered through the Roche cobas h 232 system for quantitative troponin and D-Dimer measurement. Supporting capabilities include Coleta Domiciliar (home sample collection), Coleta Empresarial (on-site corporate collection), a preventive Check-up Laboratorial package, paternity testing, and lactose intolerance testing (including LCT-13910C>T genetic testing). Reference laboratory partnerships with Alvaro and Hermes Pardini extend the available specialized test menu beyond in-house capacity. Quality is anchored by continuous PNCQ external quality control participation since 1999, with Gold Certificate recognition for 10 consecutive years.

The business model is sales-led and revenue is generated fee-for-service through clinical testing covered by Brazilian health insurance plans (convênios) and direct-pay arrangements. Insurance and institutional partnerships span Unimed, Cassi, IPE, Caixa Econômica Federal, Correios, Cabergs, Viamed/Usamed, Coopusaúde, and municipal governments (Prefeituras). Patient engagement runs through WhatsApp, a patient login portal for results, and a physician CRM portal, with LGPD compliance in place. No public funding, M&A, or capital markets activity is recorded; operations remain privately held under family/owner direction with a regional Rio Grande do Sul focus.
