This study relates the level of adherence to corporate governance practices in philanthropic hospitals of the Espírito Santo and the relationship of these practices with the operational results, according to the agency theory.

Data were collected through a questionnaire answered by the representatives of the philanthropic hospitals, analysis of financial statements, the 2010 annual report and consulting the web site of the hospitals.
