“At AstraZeneca, we believe that healthcare is a team effort and to have meaningful, lasting impact on people and communities, we need to work together with organizations dedicated to improving patient health,” said Rich Buckley, vice president, North America Corporate Affairs. “Forging unique collaborations, investing in meaningful partnerships and providing corporate support are some of the many ways AstraZeneca is committed to helping organizations, communities and patients.” AstraZeneca’s U.S. Contributions program supports organizations and programs that are focused in three key areas:
– Alignment with AstraZeneca’s core therapeutic areas to improve health
– Health and science innovation programs and initiatives that uniquely address the challenges of healthcare
– Support for community-focused programs that help improve health and healthcare in specific communities
