The campaign dovetails with the organization’s current
transformation to a new global operating model – enabling it to
keep shaping the future of healthcare. Positioning itself for
sustainable growth, Fresenius Medical Care will continue to focus
on employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, promoting a
culture where employees’ different perspectives, ideas and skills
come together as one, contributing to the whole.
With over 90,000 employees offering healthcare services in more
than 4,100 dialysis centers in around 50 countries, Fresenius
Medical Care is a significant global employer of nurses and
contributor to healthcare systems around the globe. “Across the
world, there is great diversity within our nursing teams who come
from myriad cultures and backgrounds,” said Rice Powell, CEO
Fresenius Medical Care. “Yet when these diverse healthcare
professionals are united by a shared purpose, they have a profound
and positive impact on the patients, families and communities they
serve. It is the strength in this diversity and unity that we are
celebrating, and that we have drawn on to further support our
nurses. We want every nurse to realize just how special they are
and how much they mean to our organization,” he said.
On International Nurses Day, The United in Care theme will come
to life through a multi-channel and fully integrated campaign that
covers a series of digital activities that will unite nurses and
clinical teams across the globe. Staff across different regions and
countries will upload their photos and messages to an interactive
virtual photo booth and gallery, explaining what United in Care
means to them, helping nurses to feel connected to one another,
wherever they are – creating a vast gathering of nurses from around
the world.
A special video series, A World Apart – United in Care will
further explore the campaign theme, bringing together pairs of
clinical care staff from different regions who have very different
backgrounds and experiences. The moments captured will uncover how
these healthcare professionals are united in what matters most to
them and is close to their hearts.
Importantly, ‘United in Care’ also shares the wider 2022
International Nurses Day theme: ‘Invest in nursing and respect
rights to secure global health’, which is focused on the need to
build a stronger, more resilient and satisfied nursing workforce
that will help to strengthen health systems around the world.
“We are creating new educational opportunities and expanding our
offerings and digital platforms to help nurses build their
knowledge, skills and confidence across a wide range of areas,
while special awards recognize the dedication of nurses throughout
our clinic network. We know that supporting the mental health and
wellbeing of all staff, and especially our clinical teams, is more
important than ever before, and so we offer courses, digital tools,
confidential counselling and internal support groups,” said Rice
Powell. “Fresenius Medical Care is entering an important new era
where our globalization will leverage expertise, accelerate
innovations, continue to build our culture of integrity, and
highlight the strength both in our diversity and in being united.
We are at our best when we work as one company with a shared vision
to improve patients’ quality of life around the world.”
