Pediatric cardiologist Dr Rosa Celia, founder of Pro Criança Cardiac, was awarded in the Social Responsibility category at the Lideres Rio de Janeiro 2022 Prize, organized by Grupo Empresarial Lide Rio and the 15th Ofici de Notas.

Held since 2011, the award focuses on highlighting businesspeople, companies, institutions and entrepreneurs who actively contribute to a better business scenario in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

“It is a joy to receive this honor on behalf of everyone who works with me at Pro Criança. We are a team committed to saving children’s lives and supporting their families during treatment. Thank you!”, declared Dr. Rosa.

Since 1996, Pro Criança Cardiac has had a total impact on more than 150,000 people and 100,000 outpatient visits, has provided care for more than 15,000 children and performed more than 1,600 invasive procedures.

The choice is based on research with different groups in society, taking into account involvement with local history, as well as the ability to take Rio’s positive image to other regions of the country and the world.

“More than loving Rio, everyone needs to dedicate themselves and work, more and more, for the growth of the state, providing a better quality of life and a healthy business environment. This award wants to recognize and give visibility to those who worked tirelessly for a better Rio”, declared Andréia Repsold, president of LIDE Rio.
