BOSTON, MA. April 30, 2010. Army National Guard Captain (CPT)
Stephen Pellerin is an employee of Boston Scientific Corporation.
He thought so much of, and had such high praise for his company, that
he nominated three upper management people for Patriot Awards. In
his nominations, CPT Pellerin wrote: "Boston Scientific is a
model employer in the area of great support for their military
member employees raising the bar for other companies to follow. Since
my joining the National Guard, they have stood behind me 150%. I am
proud to work for folks who understand the importance of the
civilian soldier to the overall defense of the Nation." Accepting
the awards were: David Sapienza, VP of Operations, Michael Butler, Director
of Operations and Linda Downey, Operations Manager who was not
present to accept the award.
Boston Scientific makes medical supplies and devices used to
diagnose and treat conditions in a variety of medical fields, with
an emphasis on cardiology and cardiac rhythm management. It also
makes devices used for gynecology and urology (endo-surgery group) and
pain management (neuromodulation). Its 13,000 plus products, made in
a dozen factories worldwide, include defibrillators, catheters, coronary
and urethral stents, pacemakers, biopsy forceps and needles, and
urethral slings. Boston Scientific markets its wares in more than 40
countries worldwide..
Boston Scientific sits on what was the Squantum Point Naval Air
Station during WW II and just outside the facility one can view what
remains of the old runway.
The National Committee for Employer Support of
the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) is a Department of Defense agency
