We are excited to share that we have officially launched the GE HealthCare Foundation today, a focused and ambitious initiative that builds from the company’s legacy in delivering access to healthcare to make a difference in the lives of patients in underserved communities.
The GE HealthCare Foundation is a charitable organization, incorporated separately from GE HealthCare, with a mission to advance equitable access to precision healthcare.
The GE HealthCare Foundation will fund the Colleague Matching Gifts program (US only in 2024), humanitarian aid for crises and disasters globally, and health-equity-focused grants to organizations that aim to make healthcare more accessible, personal, human and flexible.
As a leader in our industry, it is critical that we play an active role in inspiring and pursuing meaningful change globally, and supporting and elevating access to healthcare in the communities that need it most.
Following the example of GE including more than a century of making an impact on communities, education and diversity, our company is making philanthropy and social impact top priorities right from the start.
The GE HealthCare Foundation’s work will initially focus on maternal health, and at launch, it will be making its first grants to dynamic global nonprofits committed to improving care for women and babies.
Although we have seen progress in maternal healthcare, more work needs to be done to ensure all mothers have access to safe, high-quality care.
