Check out how Medtronic employees in Italy collaborated on a Project 6 park cleanup, transforming a pine forest into a cleaner, more vibrant ecosystem. Together, they removed almost 200 pounds of waste, including bicycles, mattresses, car batteries, glass, and plastic debris. Their dedicated efforts foster healthier habitats for plants and animals, creating a beautiful park for the community. #P6Volunteer

Have you ever felt the uplifting surge of the “Helper’s High?” It’s the profound sense of well-being we experience after acts of kindness, generosity, or volunteering. When we extend goodness into the world, we are rewarded with joy in return. Our CTIO, Ken Washington, PhD, stumbled into engineering ‘by happy accident’ - his wisdom for us at a Medtronic Global Town Hall was to “Be an Intentional Accident” in the lives of others. A heartfelt thank you to Ken for embodying the spirit of mentorship and inspiration. I invite you to embrace the joy of giving. Volunteer your time, your skills, your compassion. As we each contribute to our collective human welfare, we not only uplift others but also enrich our own lives. Join the movement. Be the reason someone smiles today. #P6Volunteer

Jumping into Project 6 with a splash of #PRIDE! Dedicated members of Medtronic PRIDE Network set the stage for incoming campers at One Heartland. Our enthusiastic volunteers rolled up their sleeves to revitalize hiking trails, add a fresh coat of stain to picnic tables, spruce up basketball courts, and so much more. #P6Volunteer

Networking doesn’t always happen in conference rooms. Volunteering connects you with like-minded individuals and gives you time to reflect on what truly matters. #CommunityConnection #PowerOfYouPowerOfUs

While crises become more frequent and widespread, it is essential for us, as business leaders, to strategically prioritize investments in partnerships, programs, and communities. Our very own Heidi Jedlicka Halvarson from Medtronic Foundation took the stage at the annual U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Building Resilience Conference, emphasizing the critical role of cross-sector collaboration in global engagement. This collaboration helps build capacity, unify responses, and explore community-based recovery options.

Medtronic volunteers from the Netherlands recently kicked off Project 6 with a heartwarming garden clean-up at a housing group for 30 residents with disabilities. Their dedication and compassion made a real difference. 🌱 But this is just the beginning! This mighty group is now gearing up for an incredible summer of driving impact. From May to July, they’re organizing over 350 volunteer shifts across various community initiatives. #P6Volunteer #PowerOfYouPowerOfUs

Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Americares, a longstanding nonprofit partner of Medtronic Foundation. It was truly inspiring to witness the impact of our past and present emergency relief initiatives. During a behind-the-scenes tour of their warehouse, we even had the opportunity to see donated products from Medtronic making their way to global communities affected by disasters. Thank you to this incredible team and thank you the valuable partnership! And special thanks to the amazing leadership of their CEO, Christine Squires.
