Health in Action

Our Prescription for a Better World framework is organized around three key pillars: building healthy communities (Health in Action), protecting the planet (Planet in Balance) and creating economic opportunities (Leader in Growth). Each pillar is supported by strategic priorities and goals. 

The focus of our Health in Action pillar is centered on 3 strategic priorities.

  • Accessible and affordable health care
  • Support for patients with chronic diseases
  • Patient and customer well-being and safety

To learn more about the Health in Action strategic priorities and their associated goals, refer to the Health in Action section of our Prescription for a Better World CSR report.
