We are truly a global family—and our Empowering Change Committee (ECC) was developed in 2020 to reflect the diversity of our workforce and the places they live.

Non-Profit Donations

This year, we focused more on organizations that serve people in need of healthcare services – and those who provide them. As always, those receiving the donations share our passion for helping people in need. I am pleased to announce that in 2024 we made donations to nine non-profit organizations.

The contributions totaling $25,000 were based on recommendations from our employee-led ECC. These funds will support programs that and are designated to preserve and enhance physical, mental and emotional health, especially for individuals and communities in crisis. The organizations receiving funding are:
