Este artigo reflete sobre a compreensão dos profissionais que atuam na Estratégia Saúde da Família acerca das intersecções entre relações raciais e saúde. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais que compõem as equipes de saúde da família em um município de Pernambuco, cujos dados foram analisados à luz das discussões que se debruçam sobre a temática racial. Os resultados apontam para as divergências entre os modelos de saúde presentes no cotidiano, para a invisibilidade da raça/cor na formação e atuação profissional e a branquitude como elemento estruturante das relações raciais. O estudo reafirma a necessidade do campo da saúde coletiva se debruçar sobre a intersecção entre o quesito raça/cor e as relações de cuidado em saúde, bem como o investimento na formação dos profissionais, que inclua a temática racial.
