Municipalities in the state of São Paulo, specifically Vinhedo and Votuporanga, are utilizing the Unified Health System (SUS) to provide a range of public health services. 

In Vinhedo, federal funding supports primary care teams, Basic Health Units, and specialized services including dental care and mental health through Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS). The federal government also provided R$ 219.4 thousand to supplement the National Nursing Wage Floor. Additionally, the Farmácia Popular program and the Health in School Program have provided assistance to thousands of residents and students.

Votuporanga maintains a network of Basic Health Units, specialized services, and 24-hour emergency care via its Urgent Care Unit (UPA), SAMU, and the Fortunata Germana Pozzobon Emergency Care center. The city also collaborates with the Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Votuporanga to manage high-complexity services and provides pharmaceutical assistance and disease prevention campaigns.
