Created the Samaritano Association. We have gone from a hospital to a philanthropic fund focused on health, from executors to enablers. We are no longer limited to São Paulo and serve the entire country as an assisting philanthropy within the hospital scope, practicing impactful philanthropy with results in the community.

Umane is born, the Samaritano Association gets a new name and brand, better representing its positioning and practices.
