The Global Community Engagement team collaborates with charitable organizations and schools to expand STEM education opportunities, break down barriers to health care and bring positive change to communities around the world. We create resources and support our internal network of community liaisons, champions, divisional community teams and Employee Resource Group (ERG) chapters to connect employees to our caring value and expand our impact as one Boston Scientific team.

This year we launched a new 10-week Pro Bono program, Social Change Champions. Through this program, teams of Boston Scientific employees have the unique opportunity to share their expertise with organizations supporting underserved patients. Participants gain new insights into patient needs, broaden their BSC network and develop their global leadership and collaboration skills.

For the pilot year of the program, employees from Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and the United States provided nearly $130K of consulting services to Socios En Salud in Peru.

Aligned with the work we do every day to support patients, we build relationships with nonprofits who are dedicated to raising awareness of chronic diseases and decreasing health disparities for underserved populations. By working together, we increase the quality and quantity of healthcare workers and access to health screenings and education.

We are dedicated to empowering our employees to be the genuine expression of our caring value. We create programs, campaigns and opportunities for employees to give their time, talent and resources to address the most pressing needs in their local communities.

We are dedicated to inspiring a global and diverse future generation of innovators through increasing access to STEM education opportunities. This work is supported by our passionate employee volunteers who reach out to underrepresented K-12 students in communities across the globe.
