The objective of this article was to recognize and study the diverse, creative, and dynamic potential of how the activities in the Brazilian Family Health Strategy are organized and, mainly, to see the other face of the health care technology: the health of the health workers. This is a qualiquantitative exploratory study, developed by the application of instruments for the evaluation of life quality and occupational history, supported by the observation and evaluation of the daily work in a Brazilian Family Health Strategy unit in the town of Jer nimo Monteiro, state of Esp¨ªrito Santo, in Brazil. The results show that, when targeting his/her own health, the health worker is more concerned about health problems and disorders already installed, neglecting the preventive aspects. Signs of organic and psychic suffering were considered as caused by work overload and by precariousness of links and work conditions. The study also showed that reflections on occupational health in the Brazilian Family Health Strategy also need to be carried out and that health prevention and promotion need to be explored by health workers. It is also important to review the path of the Brazilian Family Health Strategy under the perspective of health workers, aiming at the construction of a humanized work environment.
