This study present a narrative approach research on the trajectory of David Capistrano da Costa Filho, with an emphasis on his contributions to Collective Health, with the double objective of explaining the currentness of his assumptions and contribute with a methodological approach in health education. It is a posthumous biographical narrative, based on the assumptions of a graduation module offered at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, on the Baixada Santista campus, called Encounters and Production of Narratives. This module is offered to six health courses and aims at a common approach to the various professions, for the production of care, in accordance with the principles of the SUS. The narrative, written in first person, presents itself as a literary resource with the purpose of reproducing an interview in act, inspired by real events. The method focuses on collecting information from books written by and about the author, and documents in printed and audiovisual format, available in gray and specialized literature The information was collected from 2019 to 2021 and organized in a chronological order of the facts. Considering the protagonism of Davi Capistrano da Costa Filho, who died in 2000, but immortalized by his works, especially in the city of Santos, it seems to us to be coherent, to encourage new generations to experience experiences that subordinate the political order to well-being, in perspective timeless.
