The Boston Scientific Foundation 2007
Improving the health and education of those in need.

The Boston Scientific Foundation
In 2007, the Boston Scientific
Foundation reached a significant
milestone with the celebration of its
five-year anniversary. Founded in
2002, the mission of the Boston
Scientific Foundation is to improve the
lives of the economically disadvantaged
in the areas of health and education. Since its inception,
the Foundation has donated nearly $7 million through
450 grants to more than 300 non-profit organizations.
Boston Scientific Foundation activities have provided
nearly $7 million in grants to date. Highlights include:
• More than $1.7 million in funding towards our
National Health Disparities initiative
• More than $4.2 million awarded through local
grants by our Employee Community Teams
• Expanding the scope of the Foundation to include
academic scholarships for more than 100 collegebound
children of employees

2007 Giving Regions
These grants assist the organizations we
support to implement innovative solutions
for the challenging social issues we face
today. We’ve seen positive results in the
development of new programs at communitybased
healthcare clinics, mobile health vans,
disease prevention initiatives, and medical
outreach for the disenfranchised. Our work toward
eliminating health disparities, with a particular focus on
patient self-management within the homeless population,
has provided valuable training, support and
improved health outcomes. On the education front, our
grants assist in development of after-school programs,
academic summer camps and mentoring programs,
which maintain a focus on increasing academic achievement
and narrowing education disparities - particularly in
the areas of math, science and technology.
The Boston Scientific Foundation provides funding to
non-profit organizations making a difference in the
communities where our employees live and work. For
a comprehensive and up to date list of regions where
grants are made see our 2008 Grant Application.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Boston
Scientific Foundation, I am pleased to present the 2007
Boston Scientific Foundation Annual Report. The
Foundation was conceived in 2002 as a means of
helping the underserved in the areas of health and
education. As we celebrate the five-year anniversary of
the Foundation, we take pride in the positive impact our
grants are having in the communities where we live and
work. In this year’s report, you will hear directly from
representatives of organizations that have benefited
from the Boston Scientific Foundation’s support. For
example, Jennifer Bennett of The Family Van describes
how a Boston Scientific Foundation grant is helping the
agency provide free health education, screening and
prevention services to an estimated 50,000 of Boston’s
most vulnerable residents. We hope this story and
others will help bring to life the important work of the
organizations we support who also share our common
goal -- to improve lives.
Sincerely,
Letter From
The Boston Scientific Foundation

The Boston Scientific Foundation’s Employee
Community Teams (ECT) assist with local grant-making
across the country. These groups of employee
volunteers operate in regions where Boston Scientific
facilities are located. The ECTs explore opportunities for
the Foundation to make a difference at a local level and
make funding recommendations to the Foundation’s
Board of Directors.
Q How
A This
Employee Community Teams
OUR EMPLOYEES, MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
long have you been a member of the
Bay Area ECT? Why did you join?
year will be my third year as a member of
the Employee Community Team in Fremont, CA.
As I did not grow up in the Bay Area, I thought
joining the ECT would be a good opportunity for me to
learn more about the local community. Plus, my
involvement helps reconnect me to my public health
background while working for Boston Scientific.
“Our efforts really do help make life better
for those in need. In the end, this is what it’s
all about.”
– Michelle Hamilton
Coordinator, Bay Area Employee Community Team,
Senior Manager, Clinical Data Management
Q What
do you enjoy most about your
participation on the ECT? How do you
think employees benefit from participation?
A One
of the most rewarding things is being able to
see our grants being put to good use and the
impact the programs that we fund have on the disadvantaged
populations within our local communities.
Employees can benefit, too, by volunteering for good
causes. I feel good about working for a company that
gives back to the community.
Q What
issues in your community do you
feel the Boston Scientific Foundation is
making an impact upon?
A Over
the past several years, we’ve had the
opportunity to help make an impact in assisting
in several non-profit arenas. We have supported Reach
Out and Read, a hospital literacy program. Our grant
provided books to be distributed to children and
families in hospital waiting rooms. We also

supported programs focused on getting at-risk families
insured through outreach and education initiatives, like
The Health Trust.
Q How
does Boston Scientific giving back
to the community impact how you feel
about your role in the Company and our role in
the community?
A I
Children's Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota
am happy to hear how well respected our
company is locally as a result of our philanthropic
efforts — it makes me proud to be a part of a company
that is recognized for our good deeds. I also enjoy the
leadership opportunity and the sense of reward not just
for my day-to-day activities, but for my participation in
the ECT as well. It gives me the chance to interact with
employees at every level of the company and even
across the country. Even if you are not involved in
your local ECT, I encourage all employees to become
actively involved in their communities. We really can
make a difference.

National Health Disparities Initiative
IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE HOMELESS POPULATION
The Boston Scientific Foundation launched its first
major national grants program, the Health Disparities
Initiative, in 2003. Its focus has been on developing
innovative models to foster patient self-management, a
key factor in reducing health disparities. This approach
is based on reaching out to patients with respect to
their environment and providing the tools necessary so
that the patient is empowered to influence his or her
own health. Through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle
changes, patients can play a critical role in managing
chronic diseases. To date, we have contributed more
than $1 million in grants, starting with three-year grants
to community health centers that provide outstanding
evidence of improved health outcomes for patients
with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension,
stroke and pediatric obesity.
In 2007, the initiative further focused its efforts to
improve the health of homeless patients and migrant
farm-workers. In addition, the Boston Scientific
Foundation continues to support the patient selfmanagement
model developed by Boston Health Care
for the Homeless, through an ongoing partnership with
“Our goal is to provide culturally competent
care that is respectful, treats patients with
dignity and helps our patients achieve better
health and improved quality of life.”
– Colleen McDonald
Director of Development, Community-University
Health Care Center, Minneapolis, MN
the National Health Care for the Homeless Council.
This innovative initiative trains clinicians across the
country on how to support homeless patients in setting
patient self-management goals.
Q What
does your organization do?
A
Community-University Health Care Center
(CUHCC) opened its doors in 1966 in response to
community members’ desire to have the University
resources available to the larger community. The center
is located in the Phillips Neighborhood which has the
highest infant mortality rate in the City of Minneapolis.
The center first began as a primary care pediatric clinic
that later added dental care, mental health services and
expanded to serve adult patients. CUHCC has evolved
into a full-service center offering primary and specialty
medical, dental and mental health services to 9,400
patients annually, the majority of whom are living below
the poverty level. Our commitment to serve diverse
populations has translated into creating a welcoming

setting for all patients. When one steps into the center,
it is as if one is stepping into an informal meeting of
the United Nations.
Q How
A The
Community-University Health Care Center (CUHCC),
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
In 2007, the Foundation provided support to
the following organizations through its Health
Disparities Initiative:

is the Boston Scientific Foundation
supporting your organization?
Boston Scientific Foundation currently
supports our efforts to integrate psychiatry and
mental health treatment into our obstetrics services. A
nurse, who provides services in the medical and mental
health programs, will work to coordinate access and
follow up for these obstetrics patients into psychiatry.
Obstetrics nurses will also be developing self management
activities for our pregnant patients who need
assistance in finding housing and engaging in healthy
lifestyle habits.
Q How
A We
is your organization and this program
improving lives?
consider ourselves on the frontline of
humanity. As a result of the diversity within our
patient population, some have experienced war
trauma, domestic violence and other horrific conditions.
Many are refugees or do not speak English as a first
language. Some are uninsured and we see patients
ranging from infants to the elderly. Every day we come
to work and provide excellent health care services - no
matter who the patient is or what their circumstance.
Q What
has our support meant to your
organization? What impact is it making
on the community you serve?
A This
Community-University Health Care Center (CUHCC),
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
support has allowed us to move forward in
our efforts to integrate mental health and primary
care services. Providing integrated services for patients
ensures that they receive high quality care and that all
of their needs are addressed. Thanks to the funding
and support from those like the Boston Scientific
Foundation, we are able to launch innovative quality
initiatives that may not be supported by patient care
revenue. Going this extra step ensures high quality
care for our patients who face overwhelming social
and economic barriers to good health.

Our education-related grants seek to improve learning
opportunities and skill development for those at risk of
not fulfilling their potential. The primary focus is to
improve science and math education for young people
using hands-on, engaging methods. The Boston
Scientific Foundation also seeks to expand opportunities
to pursue health and science careers.
Q What
A Project
Innovative Educational Programming
service does Project Lead the Way
provide?
Lead the Way was started as a way to
promote the study of engineering in high schools
due to a shortage of qualified engineers in the United
States. Companies are having trouble finding employees
to fill the demands of engineering positions. Project
Lead the Way builds interest in engineering with high
school students in the hope that they will continue to
study engineering in college. This in turn will increase
the number of engineering graduates and produce
qualified professionals available to enter the workforce
SUPPORTING OUR FUTURE INNOVATORS
“Project Lead the Way is a program that
probably would not exist without the
Boston Scientific Foundation.”
– Belinda Sanders
Teacher, Project Lead the Way, Spencer, IN
in this challenging field. Through our programming we
hope to inspire budding engineers.
Q What
A Boston
is the Boston Scientific Foundation
supporting within your organization?
Scientific Foundation has been a
tremendous support of our local Project Lead
the Way. They have given generously to all the Greene
County Project Lead the Way programs here in
Spencer, Indiana, as well as other area schools. Not
only do they give financially, but employees of Boston
Scientific are also willing to give of themselves with
their time and support. Several Boston Scientific
employees serve on our advisory board and any time I
have a question, I feel comfortable sending an email to
one of your engineers. They also come and speak to
my classes to help build interest in the engineering
field. It is so much more than just financial support. It’s
a personal commitment to helping ensure there is a
next generation of scientists and engineers.

Q What
A Without

(Minneapolis, MN).
has our support meant to your
organization?
the financial support of the Boston
Scientific Foundation, the Greene County schools
would have had great difficulty funding the Project
Lead the Way program. It is very likely that this
program would not have gotten off the ground without
the Foundation’s support. Project Lead the Way is a
very expensive program and our community is very
small and has very limited resources. Thanks to the
Boston Scientific Foundation, we have been able to
purchase high quality computers, top of the line 3-D
solid modeling computer programs, robotic kits and
numerous other items. It is giving our students
opportunities they would not have had otherwise to
experience hands-on learning.
Q How
A Last

is your organization making a difference
in your community?
year, of the seniors I had in the Project Lead
the Way program, most continued studying some
form of engineering in college. In a few years, these
students will graduate and will go on to be productive
engineers or engineering technologists and can help
in their own small way to improve lives through
technological advances. This is a great confirmation
of how Project Lead the Way makes a difference to
a community.

Boston Scientific Foundation’s health-related grants aim
to improve the health of those with significant unmet
needs by enhancing access and quality of care, and
supporting disease prevention and awareness efforts.
Q Please
A When
Supporting Quality Health Care
tell us about The Family Van and the
communities you serve.
The Family Van was launched, on Martin
Luther King Day 1992, the core focus was to
address health disparities in those Boston neighborhoods
that had the least access to prenatal care, and
hence high incidences of infant mortality and low birth
weights. Over time our mission has broadened to
include disparities in stroke, hypertension, obesity,
diabetes and cholesterolemia. The Family Van parks in
front of community centers, subway stations and in
central locations in our neediest communities so that
people can get medical screenings or referrals without
an appointment, free of charge. To date, we’ve had
over 7,000 patient visits.
INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE, ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME
“From day-one our program has been based
on the premise that we can accomplish more
by working collaboratively.”
– Jennifer Bennett
Executive Director, The Family Van, Boston, MA
Q What
is the Boston Scientific Foundation
supporting within your organization?
A
The Boston Scientific Foundation is supporting
our work addressing the obesity epidemic.
Boston’s inner-city neighborhoods have a disproportionately
high rate of disease and mortality, with particularly
elevated levels of cancers, diabetes and heart disease.
As a result, we have been focusing on disease prevention
through obesity prevention. Your support allows us
to work with community members and educate them
about the parameters for healthy weight as well as
make suggestions about diet and exercise that fit within
their lifestyle and culture. We also have a registered
dietitian who works with community members to try
to instill healthy eating and exercise habits.
Q What
has our support meant to your
organization? What impact is it making on
the community you serve?
A
Financial support for our work means that we can
ensure proper staffing levels both on The Family
Van and at special events on the weekends. Almost

fifty percent of the folks who come on the van do not
have a primary care physician. Without regular checkups,
they are unable to receive healthy weight counseling,
let alone be referred to a nutritionist. We regularly
have clients who successfully lose significant amounts
of weight. The ongoing support and counseling they
receive from staff each week provides them with the
education and accountability they need to affect a
successful lifestyle change.
Q How
A We
The Family Van, Boston, MA
Visiting Nurse Association, Natick, MA
is your organization and this program
improving lives?
work with so many who have undiagnosed
chronic illnesses and are walking around with no
idea that they could have a stroke, heart attack or lose
their vision. By making screenings available at no
charge and with no strings attached, we serve as a link
between the healthcare system and the underserved
communities who are at the highest risk.

In keeping with its mission, the Foundation seeks
to improve educational opportunities for children
of Boston Scientific employees through academic
scholarships. The Boston Scientific Foundation
Employee Scholarship Program provides financial
support for eligible children who are accepted and
attend an accredited post-secondary undergraduate
institution to pursue any course of study.
Q How
A My
long has your father been working at
Boston Scientific?
dad has been working at Boston Scientific in
the Miami facility for eight years. He is a senior
mechanical engineer and designs equipment for the
manufacturing process. I’m proud of the work my
father does because the products he manufactures
help to save lives.
Q What
Employee Scholarship Program
factors influenced your decision to
attend college?
A
I attend college at the University of Florida in
Gainsville. I decided to go to there because it
is one of the best universities in Florida. It has a wonder-
DANIEL GALVEZ, MIAMI
“I hope that I can become a well rounded
individual capable of making a difference for
the rest of the world.”
– Daniel Galvez
son of Rolando Galvez,
Boston Scientific Employee, Miami, FL
ful campus with many different facilities that allow you
to easily become part of the “Gator Nation.” It is also
not that far from home which makes it easy for me to go
back to visit my parents in Miami whenever I want to.
Q What
do you plan to major in and why?
A
I plan to major in Microbiology because I find the
inner workings of the natural world fascinating. It
is amazing how much occurs at the cellular level that
we never realize in our day-to-day life, which is why I
chose to major in this field.
Q What
A After
do you plan to do after you finish
college?
college I plan to go to medical school in
order to become a doctor. This scholarship has
been extremely helpful in my college experience. I can
focus more on my studies and what I want to become.
I am very thankful to the Boston Scientific Scholarship
program for supporting my educational pursuits. It is
an honor that I will make the most of as I continue to
pursue my college career.
