Profile narrative

Unimed Brusque is a healthcare cooperative based in Brusque, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The organisation provides medical services to its members and the surrounding community. It manages appointment scheduling for consultations and procedures. It handles exam authorizations as part of its service offerings. It maintains patient communication channels to inform users about services and updates. In addition to regular contact methods, the cooperative offers alternative communication through WhatsApp and an 0800 hotline. Its internal information technology systems support the coordination of these activities.

As a cooperative, Unimed Brusque is owned and governed by its member users rather than external shareholders. This structure emphasizes a focus on delivering healthcare services that meet the needs of its local membership base. The organisation has stated a commitment to data protection and service quality, especially following a cybersecurity incident in February 2025. During that incident, its IT teams identified the threat, contained the impact, and restored full functionality to all systems. The cooperative confirmed that no personal or sensitive data was compromised in the attack. Preventive and corrective measures were applied immediately after the event to strengthen its security posture.

No information about a parent company or subsidiary relationships is provided in the available sources. Its operational scope appears to be concentrated on the regional healthcare market served by the cooperative.
