Medtronic Is Back to Full Production in Puerto Rico

Every production line, for every product at every Medtronic facility in Puerto Rico is now operating at pre-hurricane levels. Medtronic provided free meals to its 5,000 employees in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and paid their wages even while production was offline. The company also brought in more than one million bottles of water, as well as thousands of boxes of food. And it provided 40,000 gallons of free gasoline, on-site laundromats and day care for employees, along with a variety of other services such as banking and help with FEMA applications.
