At the hospital, we want to feel secure that the devices needed to provide us with care will be there. Boston Scientific Corp. focuses on ensuring those items are in the right place at the right time when caregivers need them, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain Brad Sorenson says.
Based in Marlborough, Mass., Boston Scientific started operations in 1979 with the goal of bringing more accessible, lower-cost and less invasive options to patients. Today, it sells a wide range of products to healthcare providers, including balloon catheters, defibrillators, pacemakers, urology products, needles, lasers, forceps, catheters, spinal cord stimulator systems and stents.
“We have a unique ability to connect our employees to our culture because we do serve patients,” he says. “The products that we make either improve patient lives or actually save lives.”
