August 21, 2025- BD proudly hosted its first-ever “Patient Day” event at its Advanced Patient Monitoring headquarters in Irvine, Calif. earlier this week, bringing together patients and BD associates in a powerful celebration of purpose, innovation and community.
Themed “Our Patients, Our Purpose,” the event offered a deeply moving experience for all attendees. Patients shared their personal stories in live panels, highlighting how BD’s technologies have impacted their lives.
Associates from across BD APM participated in the day’s activities. In a particularly moving moment, team members from BD’s manufacturing sites joined the event in person, meeting face-to-face with patients whose lives were directly impacted by the products they helped create. This powerful exchange underscored the real-world significance of BD associates’ work and the deep connection between innovation and patient outcomes.
The day featured a giving-back initiative supporting Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). Over 100 care packages were assembled by associates at the Irvine campus, filled with items for pediatric patients. The activity reflected BD’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities.
