The institution operates at federal, state, and municipal levels, in alignment with national health and education policies, and also functions as an accredited social organization in several states, managing health services and institutions through agreements and management contracts. The Association’s primary guiding principle is integration into the health system focused on disease treatment, prevention, and promotion of primary, secondary, and tertiary health, strengthening ties with the local community and reaffirming its social commitment to serve everyone without discrimination. With institutional growth, SPDM has expanded its scope of action through ongoing projects in Social Assistance and Education. This wide range of activities increasingly consolidates SPDM as a large-scale philanthropic institution pursuing economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Its four superintendencies – Hospital São Paulo, Affiliated Institutions, **Integrated Health Care Program (PAIS)**, and Education – are managed by highly skilled technical professionals with outstanding expertise. Thus, SPDM contributes effectively to the continuous improvement of services delivered by Brazil’s Unified Health System, primarily aiming to ensure universality and equitable access to health, essential for human and social development. To this end, it combines cutting-edge technology with high-quality medical care, supported by multidisciplinary teams comprising nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists, nutritionists, speech-language pathologists, biochemists, psychologists, technologists, social workers, dentists, among others. **The Integrated Health Care Program (PAIS)** began operations in 2001 in the municipality of São Paulo and later expanded to other municipalities and states. Since its inception, **PAIS** has sought, in partnership with public management, to expand and consolidate health services offered to SUS users. The Program aims to drive improvements in population health indicators and quality of life, grounded—among other principles—in comprehensiveness and equity, guided by a strategic vision of health service management defined through a process of continuous improvement. ### **Inclusion** SPDM offers employment opportunities at its hospital units, including career development plans, for people with disabilities.
