In 1991, she founded the Associação Saúde Criança (Children's Health Association) to combat the vicious cycle of misery-illness-hospitalization-re-hospitalization-death, common among patients in Hospital da Lagoa's pediatric department. Saúde Criança monitors families in areas dealing with health, education, housing, income generation, and citizenship to promote social inclusion. For 20 years, Dr. Cordeiro has played an influential role in the creation of 23 similar organizations in public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife, Florianópolis, Porto Alegre, and Goiânia. These efforts have directly benefitted over 40,000 people.

This has improved the bio-psychosocial well-being and inclusion of those living below the poverty line. Her objective is to bring the Saúde Criança model -- considered by Muhammad Yunus, winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, to be a powerful tool to serve the poorest populations -- to all public hospitals in Brazil and around the world. In addition, the designed by Saúde Criança method was incorporated into government policy in the city of Belo Horizonte, benefitting thousands of people.
