One of the main health institutions in the South of Brazil, Dona Helena Hospital during more than 100 years of existence, has been transforming and improving health care. It was achieved investing heavily in the systematic expansion of its physical structure, without neglecting the priority attention, also, to the scientific demands, which makes it a reference in innovation and humanized care. The institution grows in full harmony with Joinville, the largest city in Santa Catarina State and one of the most important industrial and economic centers in the country. Dona Helena Hospital, maintained by the Evangelical Beneficent Association of Joinville - the largest city in Santa Catarina -, was one of the first hospital institutions in the country to certify all services by ISO standards. It is also a pioneer in adapting its system to ISO 9001/2000 - 2008 version. In 2014, it won the most important hospital certification in the world: the Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, being the first institution in Santa Catarina to receive the Gold Seal Approval seal.
