Casa de Apoio da Pastoral da Saúde da Granja Viana (Granja Viana Health Assistance Center):
The Granja Viana Health Assistance Center is a civil non-profit organization, which provides social assistance and health services.
The group began its activities as a result of a group of ladies who faced a number of difficulties in trying to help those who were sick and in need, ladies who truly lived the motto of helping your peers.
In 1980 with the setting up of an organization dubbed Pastoral da Saúde (Community Health), the group became more robust and had more solid grounding to eventually legally set up the Granja Viana Assistance Center in 1987. Through its volunteer work and specialized paid personnel, the Center provides a number of programs that seek to meet the destitute community needs as a whole.
The mission of the Center is to prevent health problems in destitute communities in the municipality of Cotia, as well as provide rehabilitation services.
