History

In 1955, a group of idealists from the Jewish community of São Paulo founded Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein (SBIBAE), based upon four traditional Jewish principles

• Good Deeds (Mitzvá)
• Health, Healing (Refuá)
• Education (Chinuch)
• Solidarity, Justice (Tsedaká)

Over half a century later, SBIBAE has become a great and modern institution, governed by high quality standards and in tune with the most advanced technologies available.

Mission
To offer quality and excellence in health care through medical assistance, knowledge generation and social responsibility, as a means to demonstrate the contribution of the Jewish Community to the Brazilian people.

Vision
To be leaders and innovators in medical and hospital care, a benchmark in knowledge management, and recognized for our commitment to social responsibility.

Values
Mitzvot (Good Deeds), Refuah (Health), Chinuch (Education) and Tzedakah (Social Justice) are the Jewish values that motivated doctors from the Jewish community to found the Society more than 50 years ago. Alongside the organizational values of Honesty, Truthfulness, Integrity, Diligence, Competence and Fairness, they provide a compass for the day-to-day work of all staff and employees.
