The current global pandemic has had a profound impact on many communities around the world, arguably the most profound being on the senior citizen community. During a recent day off, three of Alexion’s employees in Japan volunteered their time to virtually visit nursing home residents. Using Zoom to facilitate the visits, volunteers and seniors hit it off with jokes, laughs, and conversations about their hobbies and interests, as well as current events.
Alexion is committed to serving local communities through volunteerism, even when circumstances do not allow us to do so in person. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and local stay-at-home orders, Alexion has begun offering virtual volunteering opportunities to employees.
Since joining the Boston biotech community in 2017, Alexion has partnered with Life Science Cares (LSC), a collective effort of the Life Science industry to eliminate the impact of poverty on our neighbors in the greater Boston area. Alexion, along with 26 other life science companies, is part of LSC’s inaugural group of founding corporate members.
