Community Involvement

hhc in Action

As Eisai has grown in the United States, the concept of contributing to the communities in which employees live and work has taken on an added importance. This, too, is part of Eisai's hhc mission - to provide benefits to patients and their families well beyond the discovery and development of important new treatments.

A sample of initiatives are highlighted here:

Caring to Help Others

In response to America's rapidly growing need to support older people and those who care for them, Eisai, in partnership with an advisory council of experts in the areas of health, aging and caregiving, developed Caring to Help Others: A Training Manual for Preparing Volunteers to Assist Caregivers of Older Adults.

Recognized by the American Society on Aging and other organizations, this groundbreaking program is helping to provide volunteer caregivers with the knowledge and skills to ease the burden on older adults and their families. In addition, it is raising awareness about the increasing need for assistance in home care.

This detailed, 500-page manual is available online to community-based organizations that prepare volunteers to assist primary caregivers.

C.A.R.E. Pharmacy Award

Eisai Inc., in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, has established the C.A.R.E. (Commitment to Alzheimer's Recognition of Excellence) Award to recognize the critical role pharmacists play in supporting people with Alzheimer's disease and their families.

The award program allows for patients and families who have been affected by Alzheimer's disease the opportunity to recognize pharmacists who have made a positive difference in their lives.

DVTeamCare™ Hospital Award


Eisai Inc., in partnership with the North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF), has established the DVTeamCare Hospital Award to recognize hospitals that have made a significant commitment to preventing DVT and dedicating the necessary resources to achieve this goal. The award program will showcase the details of the winning hospital's protocol and implementation plan to help other hospitals enhance their efforts to prevent DVT and its potentially fatal complications.
