Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Itabuna launches community health initiative

The Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Itabuna is holding a series of religious and community events from September 10 to 15 in honor of its patron saint, Nossa Senhora das Dores. The program includes masses, rosaries, and a significant health initiative.

A key component of this year's celebration is the relaunch of the ‘Santa Casa nos Bairros’ project. This initiative aims to bring healthcare services and community support directly to local neighborhoods, starting with an action in the Maria Pinheiro district on September 12. The project seeks to strengthen ties between the institution, the Diocese of Itabuna, and local parishes by combining spiritual observance with practical community care.
