Empowering communities: Stryker’s commitment to giving and volunteering

At Stryker, we’re committed to providing innovative healthcare solutions. But our employees’ passion to help create better outcomes extends beyond their daily work. Globally, our team members are driven by their desire to improve communities and help foster a better, healthier world.  

Our focus on improving healthcare and our world has helped shape Stryker’s social impact initiatives.  We are committed to advancing healthcare, supporting education, improving environmental health and enriching community culture. We believe that giving back, whether through giving or volunteering, helps strengthen our communities, making them healthier, happier, cleaner and more vibrant.

Our four giving and volunteering focus areas:

1. Advancing healthcare

Through our nonprofit partnerships, we aim to help provide all communities with access to safe and timely healthcare. We fund initiatives and medical education programs, enhancing surgical capacity and improving outcomes, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Our funding helps provide access to quality healthcare, alleviate suffering, restore function and instill hope.

2. Supporting education

We collaborate with nonprofits spanning the education continuum, from early childhood preparation to post-secondary preparedness. We help support key partners in this space to prepare school aged children for success with their education and careers.   

3. Improving environmental health

Environmental health impacts us all, and efforts to improve the environment are taken on at local and global levels. We partner with nonprofits addressing sustainability challenges worldwide while preserving and protecting our local environments for generations to come. Through these efforts, we contribute to a cleaner, greener planet. 

4. Enriching community culture

We enrich lives through the power of the arts, connecting people, fostering belonging and strengthening communities. Through partnerships with nonprofits and active engagement in local events, we inspire people to envision and create a more vibrant future. These initiatives align with our employee resource group objectives, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
