Before **HGP**, any need for medical care, whether for simple or complex conditions, especially surgical cases, required residents of these municipalities to travel long distances to hospitals in central São Paulo. The hospital directly serves the municipalities of Taboão da Serra and Embu, totaling approximately half a million people. Since its opening, its operations have aligned with **SPDM**'s mission of achieving excellence in delivering public healthcare services with social responsibility and commitment to the principles of Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS). Over 21 years of service, **HGP** has successfully achieved SPDM's vision of “being an excellent public service, recognized as a model healthcare provider.” Furthermore, in accordance with **SPDM**'s defined values, **HGP** has, since its inauguration, upheld a “social commitment demonstrated through citizenship actions, health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental protection,” significantly contributing to regional development. **HGP** was opened during a period of severe healthcare resource shortages and widespread socioeconomic hardship. As part of regional development strategies and goals, the establishment of the hospital enabled high-risk prenatal care, emergency and urgent hospital care, auxiliary diagnostic tests, and inpatient beds in adult, pediatric, and neonatal intensive care units.
