At Johnson & Johnson, we believe closing the gap between community and care can transform health outcomes for all. We’ve partnered with Apunipima Cape York Health Council and Heart of Australia to co-design and deliver a cardiovascular disease screening clinic for remote communities. First Nations adults with no diagnosed cardiovascular disease are first screened, and those with a medium or high risk of CVD are provided full testing on board Heart of Australia’s mobile clinic. Not only are we providing early intervention and treatment for people in remote communities, we’re working to establish the burden of disease to support future health delivery. Volunteers from J&J utilised their 4 days of #volunteer leave to contribute in both clinical and non-clinical roles. Nurses, doctors and other clinical staff from J&J supported Apunipima’s Aboriginal Health Workers in screening and point-of-care testing, and the Heart of Australia team on board the truck as they performed ECGs, echocardiograms and CTs. For non-clinical volunteers, yarning with community members and serving up healthy BBQ lunches meant that the team were able to discuss healthy lifestyle factors, and help educate on the screening and testing process to remove some of the barriers community members faced in attending the clinic. For local Apunipima Health Workers, success was measured through diagnosis of CVD in even one member of community, reducing the risk of an emergency presentation. Several community members were diagnosed with significant risk, and are now being followed up with appropriate treatment plans – and while we’ve got more work to do in this community, we believe we’re creating a meaningful and impactful program. It’s all part of #JNJ's commitment to #healthequity for First Nations peoples.

To celebrate Pride 2024, our employees came together this morning to recognise and celebrate the theme - Past, Present, Future - ensuring diversity, equity and inclusion remain at the forefront for J&J. Our Open&Out (O&O) employee resource group for LGBTQIA+ employees and allies has grown from 20 colleagues in 1993 to thousands of members across the globe today, helping to ensure J&J employees are empowered to bring their full selves to work. Though O&O initiatives, ongoing advocacy, and LGBTQIA+ friendly benefits, J&J stands in full support of the LGBTQIA+ community year-round. #PrideMonth

At Johnson & Johnson, we acknowledge this National Reconciliation Week and the 2024 theme, Now More Than Ever, as an important time for all Australians to reflect on the role each of us play in reconciliation, and take time to learn about First Nations history, culture and their continuing connection to the land, sea and waterways. As a healthcare company, we understand the role we can play in creating improved health outcomes for First Nations people – one of the priorities of Closing the Gap. That’s why we have revised our Health Equity strategy to refocus on supporting access to healthcare, providing educational opportunities for First Nations healthworkers, nurses and doctors, and to continue educating our employees on allyship, racism and unconscious bias. Now More Than Ever, we are committed to tackling the unfinished business of Reconciliation. #reconciliation #nrw #reconciliationaustralia #firstnations #healthequity #closingthegap

Johnson & Johnson - Australia and New Zealand reposted this
Following last week’s Post-Budget Briefing in Canberra by Australian Minister for Health & Aged Care The Honourable Mark Butler MP, yesterday, I was pleased to represent Johnson & Johnson - Australia and New Zealand at the Australian Institute of Policy and Science Opposition Post Budget Health Briefing by the Shadow Health Minister, Senator The Honourable Anne Ruston, at NSW Parliament House. It was pleasing to hear Senator Ruston both discuss the aspects of the Federal Budget that received bipartisan support, as well as her commitment to addressing the challenges in primary care and our healthcare workforce, and a future where Australia’s healthcare system can meet the expectations and innovation required for our country. Johnson & Johnson together with Medicines Australia has been a proud sponsor of these important post-Budget health briefings, which not only provide an opportunity for discussion about the Budget implications for our sector, but also enable patients and advocacy groups to engage directly with our most senior policy makers. Listening and responding to the real needs of patients is critical in ensuring our health system is fit-for-purpose.

“If access to #healthcare is considered a human right, who is considered human enough to have that right?” -Dr Paul Farmer. This quote sets the scene for my recent interview with Deborah Guion, Head of Health Equity at Johnson & Johnson. Deb delves into her unique role across J&J MedTech & J&J Innovative Medicine (previously #Janssen) and the organisation's inspiring journey towards prioritising #healthequity and #socialimpact "for the greater benefit of humanity". Deb stresses the importance of senior leadership commitment in driving meaningful change in underserved communities, saying "Last year, our two managing directors, Susan Martin and Urs Voegeli took time to travel to Arnhem Land with me, and they sat and listened to community talk about the challenges they face." Looking ahead, Deb highlights the increasing integration of data-driven approaches, as well as the growing emphasis on partnerships and collective action to address pressing societal challenges. #johnsonandjohnson #health #pharma #pharmaceuticals Johnson & Johnson MedTech The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson Janssen Australia and New Zealand Health Industry Hub

A key element of J&J’s commitment to #ESG initiatives is protecting our #environment. During 2023, Johnson & Johnson completed the switch to 100% green retail electricity supply to all commercial office and operations facilities in Australia and New Zealand, forming part of our 41% global reduction of Scope 1 + Scope 2 GHG emissions (since 2016). We worked with our logistics partner DHL to reduce carbon emissions across Australia and New Zealand by 84.5 tonnes, a significant reduction supported by the transition in ground transport services to Smartways Logistics, the first carbon-neutral healthcare logistics provider in Australia New Zealand. We also installed electric vehicle charging stations at the Sydney head office carpark for our green-living team members!
