Charity
Our heart beats for what we do and with passion we manage to surpass ourselves day by day. This is how we push the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery with our products, enabling patients to have shorter procedures, less pain and therefore a faster recovery.
Our products are used in hospitals around the globe. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, we are deeply rooted in the Neckar-Alb region and consider it one of our tasks to support social, charitable, sporting or cultural initiatives here in our home region.
For many years, EPflex has supported the Tannheim Clinic through a commitment that goes far beyond corporate social responsibility. Our connection to the clinic is rooted in personal experience and a deep appreciation for the invaluable support it provides to children, young people, and their families during some of life’s most challenging moments.
In this film, we visited the clinic to gain insight into its extraordinary work and to meet the people who make it such a special place. Their dedication, empathy, and strength are truly inspiring.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the patients and families who participated in this film and shared their experiences with us. Their openness, courage, and trust made this project possible.
We also thank the entire team at the Tannheim Clinic for their commitment, their partnership, and the opportunity to help raise awareness of their important work.
1 in 100 children is born with a heart defect, that’s 8,000 children every year in Germany alone. Helping here is a matter close to our hearts.
When a child is diagnosed with a heart defect, the world of the entire family is turned upside down. The Parents‘ lnitiative for Children with Heart Disease e.V. (ELHKE) is a regional support group for affected parents and supports families during this difficult time. This includes, for example, arranging contacts for the mutual exchange of experiences or very practical help such as organizing overnight accommodations for the parents near to the clinic. EPflex’s contribution primarily supports a social worker position in the pediatric cardiology department at the University Hospital of Tübingen. Here, parents can find qualified advice and support from the very beginning.
We stand for a healthy and active lifestyle. Supporting sports clubs in our region is therefore quite natural for us.
Health is a central focus of our daily work, That’s why we want to draw attention to the topic of organ donation.
Together with the organ donation working group at Tübingen University Hospital
we are committed to the topic and want to support the decision for or against organ donation!
The future of our children is important to us. Education and training are the key to this.
Health is important to us – therefore we would like to make a contribution beyond our products.
Music and culture connect us and bring people together.
Not everyone is on the sunny side of life. Particularly in times of pandemic, war and inflation, more and more people are dependent on additional help.
For integration to succeed, a common language is an elementary component.
EPflex is aware of its social responsibility as an employer, also with regard to current political challenges. Without language skills there is no work and without work there is no integration of refugees into society. For this reason, EPflex has been offering free language courses for employees without German language skills since 2014. This was even worth a short report in the ZDF morning show.
