Between October 13 and 23, 2026, the municipality of Cotia hosts the Cuidar Project, which offers the population a free journey of physical assessment, individualized guidance, and sports and health activities aimed at prevention and the adoption of healthy practices.
The initiative, approved under the Sports Incentive Law, is led by the organization Alçando Voos: Sonhos em Movimento. It has institutional support from the Cotia City Hall and sponsorship from the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, headquartered in Cotia.
A trailer will be set up at Praça dos Romeiros, in Caucaia do Alto, next to the Emergency Care Unit. All activities and services offered are free and do not require prior scheduling.
During the service, each participant will go through registration, screening, and various assessment stations, including aerobic capacity, strength, lower limb power, flexibility, agility, and coordination. At the end of the course, the participant will receive an individual summary of the results, along with guidance.
For the Municipal Health Secretary, Roberto Alves de Sales, “caring for health also means preventing. Initiatives such as the Cuidar Project help bring information, guidance, and activities that encourage healthier habits closer to the population. The partnership also contributes to strengthening prevention and health promotion actions. We hope that residents of Caucaia do Alto and other regions take advantage of this opportunity and participate in the activities.”
Schedule
In addition to individual consultations, the Cuidar Project will have a daily schedule of group activities in the morning and afternoon, with dance classes, functional training, mobility, balance, and stretching.
The public can also take part in educational talks on prevention, nutrition, hydration, diabetes, cardiovascular health, smoking, sleep, stress, and other topics related to quality of life.
“The Cuidar Project reflects the potential of collaboration between the private sector and the government to expand access to prevention and health promotion for the population that needs it most,” reinforces Leandro Fonseca, director of Corporate Affairs at AstraZeneca in Brazil.
Individual consultations take place Monday through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Group activities will be held from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., while educational talks run from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The operation has trained professionals and Physical Education students to conduct the assessments and guide participants.
