This work aims to establish promotion activities to health and disease prevention to reduce morbidity and mortality in a risk group belonging to the Basic Health Unit (BHU) Carandaí municipality station Minas Gerais. The methodology used was the development of an intervention project from a PES anchored in a literature review using articles published in databases and SciELO Virtual Health Library (VHL) as well as municipal documents.
