Hello Trent,
Private medical care in Brazil is on par if not better then what you can get in Europe or in the United States, while the public health system is a complete disaster. You will need to search for private doctors and hospitals that have English-speaking staff and the experience of dealing with foreign patients.
Where in Pernambuco are you travelling to? If you have your itineary worked out already, it is better to call the hotels where you are going to be staying and make inquires in advance, or run internet search for contacts.
