Community Involvement

In line with our corporate mission to help clinicians improve patients' lives, Boston Scientific is at work in the community, supporting national, local and international charitable efforts committed to expanding access to quality healthcare and educational opportunities for the underserved. An important focus for the Company is encouraging students to pursue career paths within the fields of health, science and technology. Boston Scientific is committed to helping address achievement gaps in these fields through support of a variety of educational programs. By dedicating time, expertise and financial resources in the communities where our employees live and work, we are helping to improve health and educational opportunities for those in need.

Boston Scientific’s community health initiatives have two major areas of focus: reducing health disparities for the underserved and ensuring their access to quality care; and supporting disease prevention and awareness programs to help patients reduce their risk for chronic illness.
