There are always going to be patients to treat and people who want to get well. It is the job of healthcare to make that happen. That’s why Cook Medical provides financial and product support to organizations that are looking for ways to better serve patients and healthcare providers. All requests must meet your own institutional, local, national, and regional requirements to be considered by Cook Medical.
We consider requests for charitable donations, grants, and products to do the following things:
Disclosure: It is Cook Medical’s policy to comply with laws around the world that apply to public disclosure of certain transfers of value to healthcare professionals. We have one global program that covers external applicable standards.
Bribery: It is a long-standing policy of Cook Medical and a part of our company values that we do not buy business or tolerate bribery.
Cook Medical does not provide “unrestricted” grants outside the scope of the requestor’s written application and budget that is submitted for review.
