Community Impact

At Siemens Healthineers, we are pioneering breakthroughs in healthcare for everyone, everywhere. Through partnerships like the examples below, we support our local communities through volunteer initiatives that address healthcare disparities and the widening gap in STEM education.

Encouraging STEM Careers

Two Siemens Healthineers programs allow students in grades six through 12 an opportunity to gain exposure to STEM topics and careers.

Sisters in STEM connects middle school girls of color with our employees, who teach the students foundational skills like public speaking and self-advocacy, plus hands-on skills through STEM projects.

New for 2022, Scholars in STEM expands our outreach to include high school students, including those from Native American populations and Title 1 schools. Employees serve as career coaches and speakers, sharing insight about working in STEM fields in the healthcare industry.

Black Health Matters Presents: Health and Wellness in the Time of COVID-19

In partnership with Black Health Matters we hosted a free virtual health fair to dispel myths about COVID-19 testing, the different types of COVID-19 tests, post-recovery care, and more. (May 2021)

Offering Life-saving Care

Individuals living in underserved neighborhoods often lack access to preventative healthcare and treatments, due to barriers like cost and transportation. Over the past year, we have partnered with Penn Medicine to offer no-cost, no insurance needed mammograms to Philadelphia residents in need aboard a Siemens Healthineers mobile mammography truck. Employee volunteers educated community members about breast health and talked to local high school students about healthcare careers.

Supporting Underserved Communities

In addition to our efforts supporting communities with COVID-19 testing technologies, we partnered with food banks throughout the country who saw an increased demand due to the pandemic.

Through the Siemens Foundation, we’ve helped communities combat COVID-19 by supporting vaccination distribution efforts, providing funding and testing technologies to support the safe reopening of HBCUs, and contributing to community health centers.
