2017 MassBio Leading Impact Award<br />
MassBio’s Economic Development Advisory Group (EDAG) created the Leading Impact Award in 2012 to annually<br />
recognize significant contributions of individuals or organizations in the arena of local, regional and state economic<br />
development that have improved the competitiveness of Massachusetts as a destination for the life sciences industry.<br />
Since then, five honorees have been recognized for their work in making Massachusetts a global hub for life sciences.<br />
The 2016 Leading Impact is presented to Pfizer. With more than 2,100 colleagues throughout the state, Pfizer is<br />
Massachusetts’ seventh largest biopharma employer. The company invests considerable resources in partnerships with<br />
universities and small biotech companies, and currently has more than 100 such agreements and partnerships in the state.<br />
Since opening in 2014, Pfizer has nearly doubled its footprint in its Kendall Square location, adding more than 300<br />
employees and leasing space to other biotech companies. Pfizer recently broke ground on a new clinical manufacturing<br />
facility in Andover, which will lead to 75 new employees who will support manufacturing efforts.<br />
Committed to the community, Pfizer works in collaboration with Andover schools to generate students’ interest in the<br />
sciences, through educational programming and a unique partnership with Andover High School’s Special Education<br />
program that allows students the opportunity to perform jobs on-site Monday through Friday. Pfizer employees also<br />
mentor students – in 2016, 100% of the participating students not only graduated from high school, but are<br />
college-bound.<br />

Pfizer is also committed to advancing healthcare, and supports access to medicines. Recently the company awarded a<br />
$200,000 grant to the state AIDS Action Committee, which will be used to expand services for injection drug users,<br />
underscoring a dedication to addressing the opioid overdose epidemic. Pfizer also has a RxPathways program, which helps<br />
eligible patients obtain access through medicines by offering support services that include insurance counseling, co-pay<br />
help, discounted or free Pfizer medicines and more. In 2015, Pfizer helped more than 1,000 uninsured or<br />
underinsured people in Massachusetts, and provided 8,633 free or discounted prescriptions.<br />
