Poços de Caldas launched the ‘Brasil Coração Saudável’ (Healthy Heart to Brazil) program within its municipal education network. This initiative, a collaboration between the municipal government, the Secretariats of Health and Education, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC), Hospital Santa Lúcia, and PUC Minas, aims to promote and prevent cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents.

Inaugurated at the Colégio Municipal Dr. José Vargas de Souza, the program implements health monitoring in schools to evaluate indicators such as weight, height, abdominal circumference, and blood pressure. The project seeks to establish cardiovascular health profiles for students to identify risk factors early and develop prevention strategies.
