This paper intends to report an experience with the process of integrated planning in a Basic Health Unit at Ribeirão Preto-SP. We selected as our object of analysis the interactions and dialogues that were expressed in the scope of the local Health System. Therefore, we sought to consider the individual dynamics of this reality and the social agents involved (teachers, students, directors, health workers and community members), trying to understand the communicative action according to HABERMAS (1989). We believe that this is an open space in the perspective of widening the level of integrated participation in the administration of public health services.
