Heraeus Medical supports Wehrheim playground project

Corporate

Wehrheim, November 23, 2021 - "This HERE is us!" - under this motto, Heraeus Medical launched an initiative for an in-house "Social Day" in 2020. In this initiative, employees have the opportunity to volunteer for a selected charitable project on a day of action.

The project: A children's playground in Wehrheim was getting on in years and only offered limited play fun suitable for children. The association Spielplatz Franzensbader Straße e.V. asked local companies, including Heraeus Medical, for support. After the first on-site meeting, it quickly became clear to everyone - we're tackling this together.

"For Heraeus Medical, it is natural to get involved in the community and give something back. The response from the workforce was very positive right from the start and many wanted to be involved in the project," says Nicole Petermann, Managing Director of Heraeus Medical GmbH.

Gregor Sommer, mayor of Wehrheim, praised the commitment of all those involved: "The activities of the Franzensbader Straße e.V. playground association have really given the playground a new lease of life. I am extremely grateful to the association and especially to the initiative of Heraeus Medical."
