Cooling communities, one tree at a time🌳 Planting trees goes beyond adding greenery to our surroundings; it’s about creating a healthier, more resilient community. From providing essential shade that reduces urban heat islands to lowering stress levels, each tree contributes to a stronger, more vibrant neighborhood.

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.
