Hospital Geriátrico e de Convalescentes D. Pedro II, Public geriatric hospital in Jaçanã District, Brazil.
Hospital Geriátrico e de Convalescentes D. Pedro II is a public geriatric facility in Jaçanã District, São Paulo, with a team of doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and nutritionists providing specialized care. The complex was designed by architect Ramos de Azevedo and delivers round-the-clock nursing and rehabilitation services for elderly patients with chronic conditions.
The institution was founded in 1885 as Asilo de Mendicidade and moved to its current building in 1911, designed by renowned architect Ramos de Azevedo. This relocation marked a significant transformation as the facility evolved from its original purpose.
The building houses religious artworks and a ceramic tile panel created by artist Sergio Migliaccio in 1974, which shapes the visual character of the interior spaces.
The facility is located at Avenida Guapira 2674 in the Jaçanã neighborhood and is easily accessible for visitors and patients. The complex houses multiple departments organized to address different care needs across its various wings.
The grounds occupy land from the former Guapira farm, which played a central role in developing the Jaçanã neighborhood. This historical land connection gives the site a deeper link to the area's local history.
