Instituto Pinheiro

Instituto Pinheiro is a Brazilian non-profit healthcare organization dedicated to promoting active aging and improving the quality of life for the senior population. Founded in 2011, the institute operates as a Social Organization of Civil Society Interest (OSCIP), focusing on preventive health through physical, cognitive, and social stimulation. It provides a variety of services, including workshops, health monitoring, and social integration programs designed to combat age-related decline and isolation.
