Our Mission
As a company dedicated to expanding the potential health and well-being of others, EDISON BIO is passionate about investing in social good and giving back to those in need.
While our goal is to shape the future of healthcare to empower individuals to take control of their own longevity and performance, we recognize that not everyone has the same opportunity to invest in their health. Because of this, EDISON BIO is committed to helping those who lack the resources to take care of their physical and mental health.
Our Partnerships
Every year, almost six million children die around the world from preventable diseases before they reach the age of five. In an effort to help prevent these unnecessary tragedies, EDISON BIO has aligned itself with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically goal #3, Good Health and Well-Being.
This goal is intended to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people through funding health systems, improving sanitation, and expanding access to physicians. To help achieve this goal, EDISON BIO supports the United Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life program—a grassroots advocacy campaign that provides children in need with life saving vaccinations—with every new Member that joins our company. EDISON BIO is committed to expanding the health potential of all people and we will continue to align ourselves with organizations who share in this mission.
