Championing Women

We see so often that women put themselves last, often to their detriment. Despite advances in healthcare, women’s health is not a priority in much of the world. In 2021, health situations for women and girls did not get better. The divide between women in high-income and low-income economies grew even larger than the year before. Hologic works tirelessly to ensure that women’s health is prioritized and that current technologies are utilized to their fullest, life-saving potential.

Our Communities

A global company has a responsibility to help wherever it can — not only where it conducts business. That means serving unique populations with different needs. Hologic listens to the specific needs of many local audiences to deliver support that resonates within the community.

Strengthening Communities Through Philanthropy

185 organizations worldwide received philanthropic assistance from Hologic.

We have donated millions of dollars to these non-profit organizations, directly and through Partners in Giving, a program in which Hologic matches employees’ donations to charitable groups.

When there is tight alignment between mission and performance, and the right talent in every role, engagement thrives.

“What I am empowered to do each day, which is to set the strategic direction of our sales organization, has an impact not only on the livelihood of all employees, but also on every patient who receives a diagnosis based on the surety of our products.

I am certain that my purpose to enable healthier lives is aligned to my daily responsibilities in the organization and that growth is inevitable.

“I joined the organization at a time when everything in the world was uncertain due to COVID. Hologic embraced the challenges and ensured that we felt secure in an unnerving situation. We did not lose those interpersonal connections that tie our purpose to our people. I found myself connecting more and cultivating my leadership skills, which created an excellent sense of belonging for me. I am certain that my purpose to enable healthier lives is aligned to my daily responsibilities in the organization and that growth is inevitable.”

I’ve been able to help develop world-class treatment and diagnostic technologies that impact far more people.

“My goal in life is to leave the world a better place for having had me in it. As a nurse, I was able to do that through direct patient care – one patient at a time. As someone who has worked in the medical technology industry, I’ve been able to help develop world-class treatment and diagnostic technologies that impact far more people. Moving to Hologic was a no-brainer. You’re working with amazing technology that helps to diagnose earlier, bring treatment sooner and help women in particular get back to healthy lives and their families a lot faster.”

“Hologic has been a great champion for the well-being of its people and the communities where it does business. This is a game-changer for both the employee and the company — a two-way, win-win approach. What could be more engaging than working for a company that genuinely cares about people? Hologic means pride and hope.”
Elidieth Gonzalez, Director, Human Resources, El Coyol, Costa Rica
