This article aims to analyze the meanings produced by health professionals concerning health care in three Quilombola communities in the Vale do Guaporé, in the state of Rondônia. The methodological resource used was the qualitative approach. The construction of the corpus was carried out from semi-structured interviews with six health professionals and the analysis technique was the analysis of the discourse influenced by the perspective of social constructionism. The meanings produced by the professionals, pointed out through their speeches, allowed the identification of four interpretative repertoires: 1) social construction of the Quilombola remnant from the difference: cordiality, delay, and disinterest; 2) mental health problems in the community; 3) social, cultural and symbolic aspects of the community as mental health care practices, and 4) barriers to attention: theoretical-practical distances and (i) mobility. The reflections on the speeches presented point to the need for training and continuing education of health professionals in the black population so that there is a critical reflection on the reality and social conditions inherent to health.

Keywords : health professional; quilombola community; public health.
